KEY. 

A  person  is  only  given  one  number  and  it  is  used  as  the  family  heading  of  the 
person,  as  well  as  in  numbering  this  person  as  offspring  of  the  parents.  This  is  the 
"Key"  to  the  work.  For  example  Thomas  Yale  No.  44,  page  126,  was  son  of 
Thomas  Yale  No.  29,  page  123.  All  family  and  children  numbers  are  in  numer- 
ical order,  so  any  number  can  be  located  at  once.  Records  of  persons  received  late 
or  overlooked,  have  been  numbered  with  the  letter  "A"  preceding.

PREFACE. 


In  compiling  this  work  I  have  endeavored  to  present  only  definite 
and  positive  facts,  based  upon  competent  and  proven  authorities.  I 
was  intended  that  mere  fiction  and  tradition  should  have  no  part  in  the 
events  recorded  herein,  and  the  reader  may  be  assured  that  the  matter 
presented  is  authentic  and  founded  entirely  upon  reliable  historical,  bi- 
ographical, genealogical  and  private  records. 

I  have  kept  well  in  mind  the  fact  that  the  mere  assumption,  based 
upon  tradition  or  like  unreliable  authority,  of  descent  from  or  connec- 
tion with  noted  historical  characters,  should  have  no  place  in  a  work  of 
this  class,  and  the  ancient  genealogy  of  the  Yales  as  presented  herein 
is  bereft  of  all  suppositional  matter  and  is  a  bare  record  of  facts  as  es- 
tablished by  anciently  recorded  pedigrees  and  reliable  historical  matter, 

The  principal  authorities  consulted  are:  "The  Welsh  People"  (1906). 
bj'  John  Rhys,  M.  A.,  Professor  of  Celtic  in  the  Universit}^  of  Oxford,  and 
David  Brynmor- Jones,  member  of  Parliament,  ''Burke's  Peerage," 
"Burke's  Lranded  Gentry,"  "The  Life  of  Owen  Glyndwr,"  by  Bradley, 
"Abbeys  and  Castles  of  England  and  Wales,"  "The  Dictionary  of 
National  Biographies,"  "Country  Townships  of  the  Old  Parish  of  Wrex- 
ham," by  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer,  and  various  Encyclopedias  and 
Histories. 

Substantial  and  valuable  special  information  was  also  supplied 
direct,  by  Mr.  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer,  of  Wrexham,  Wales,  a  recognized 
authority  on  Welsh  pedigrees  and  family  history,  and  by  Mr.  George  F. 
C.  Yale  of  Pwllheli,  Wales,  son  of  Wm.  Corbet  Yale- Jones-Parry  of 
Plas  yn  Yale  and  Madryn  Castle. 

The  principal  original  sources  of  information  pertaining  to  early 
Britain,  of  the  authorities  named,  are  the  "Brut,"  a  history  of  the  British 
Princes,  and  "Annales  Cambriae,"  both  being  of  ancient  Cymric  origin.

4  PREFACE 

The  sources  of  information  for  the  genealogy  of  the  Yales  after  their 
settlement  in  America  were,  "The  YaleFamilj^"  by  Judge  Elihu  Yale, 
"The  New  Haven  Historical  Society  Papers,"  the  living  Yales  them- 
selves, and  their  descendants. 

I  am  however  especiallj^  indebted  to  several  ladies  and  gentlemen, 
who  have  unselfishly  and  loj'allj',  rendered  much  valuable  assistance, 
in  supplj'ing  records,  information,  etc.,  pertaining  not  only  to  their  own 
branches,  but  to  other  branches  as  well;  among  whom  are  Miss  Amelia 
Yale,  Houseville  N.  Y.,Miss  Charlotte  Lilla  Yale,  Meriden  Conn.,  Miss 
Fanny  I.  Yale,  Hartford,  Mrs.  Madeline  Yale-Wj'nne,  Chicago,  Mrs. 
C.  C.  King,  Chicago,  Mr.  J.  Hobart  Yale,  Meriden  Conn.,  Mr.  George  H. 
Yale,  Wallingford,  Conn.,  Mr.  William  T.  Yale,  New  York  N.  Y.,  Mr. 
Fred'k  C.  Yale,  New  York,  N.  Y.,  Mr.  William  Henry  Yale,  New  York, 
N.Y.,Mr.  Washington  Yale,  Minneapolis,  Minn.,  Mr.  F.  B.  Yale,  Waco, 
Neb.,  Mr.  D.  E.  Williams,  Reno,  Nev.,  Mr.  Arthur  Yale,  Montreal, 
Canada,  and  Mr.  M.  B.  Waterman,  Buckley,  Ills.,  and  others  I  also 
wish  to  extend  thanks  to  the  large  number  of  other  members  of  the  Yale 
family  and  descendants,  who  have  unstintingly  and  carefully  supplied 
the  recoras  pertaining  to  their  own  branches;  and  in  connection  with 
these  acknowlegments,  I  regret  that  it  is  necessary  to  state,  that  I  have 
found  it  impossible  to  procure  from  some  of  the  Yale  families,  whose 
addresses  I  have,  the  required  information  regarding  their  ancestry,  to 
enable  me  to  enter  their  family  records  in  this  work;  although  I  have 
made  repeated  and  urgent  requests.  I  also  deeply  regret  that  there  are 
some  few  whose  ancestry  I  have  been  unable  to  trace,  even  with  their 
own  aid,  willingly  extended.  I  mention  these  facts  at  this  time,  so  that 
it  may  be  understood  that  the  author  is  not  wholly  responsible  for  the 
absence  of  such  desirable  and  essential  family  records  as  may  be 
lacking. 

As  many  of  the  early  ancestors  of  the  Yales  were  kings  and  princes 
of  ancient  Britain  and  Wales,  and  others  prominent  leaders  of  the  Nor- 
mans in  their  conquest  of  the  Principality',  I  concluded  that  the  most 
practical  way  to  record  the  events  in  the  lives  of  these  important  per- 
sonages and  present  same  in  a  connected  manner  and  the  order  in  which 
they  appeared  in  the  national  life,  was  to  write  a  brief  history  of  ancient 
Britain  and  Wales. 

In  fact  the  lives  of  these  ancestors  were  so  intertwined   with   the  na- 


PREFACE  5 

tional  life  and  constituted  such  an  important  part  of  it,  that  it  would  be 
impossible  to  write  their  biographies  without  also  writing-  a  history  of 
Wales;  and  it  would  likewise  be  impossible  to  write  a  history  of  Wales 
without  writing  their  biographies. 

Individual  biographies  are  presented  of  those  ancient  ancestors  of 
prominence  whose  careers  were  not  sufficiently  connected  with  Welsh 
affairs  so  that  the  principal  events  of  their  lives  could  be  told  in  con- 
nection therewith. 

The  "Yale  Pedigree"  presented  herein  will  make  clear  the  various 
connections  and  the  several  lines  of  descent.  The  names  are  numbered 
and  these  numbers  are  also  inserted  in  the  history  of  Wales,  in  connec- 
tion with  the  names  of  the  same  persons,  where  they  first  appear,  and 
in  some  instances  the  number  is  inserted  successively  with  the  name. 
Usually,  however,  the  number  is  only  inserted  once,  it  being  expected 
that  the  name  will  be  recognized,  as  it  successively  appears  in  the  nar- 
rative. The  names  of  the  ancestors  in  the  History  are  all  printed  in 
capitals,  to  distinguish  them  from  other  names. 

The  Pedigree  numbers  are  also  used  in  connection  with  the  "Gen- 
ealogy of  the  Ancient  Yales"  and  the  biographies  in  connection  with 
same. 

In  reference  to  the  family  records,  will  state  that  sometimes  dates 
given  me  by  different  members  of  a  family  for  the  same  event  would 
differ.  In  such  cases  I  have  used  the  date  which  seemed  most  likely 
correct. 

Where  no  names  of  children  are  given  it  does  not  always  follow  that 
there  were  no  children,  but  it  means,  at  least,  that  no  record  of  children 
was  sent  to  me. 

Addresses  and  dates  of  death,  etc.,  are  usually  not  given  in  the 
records  of  children,  where  the  persons  have  individual  family  records  in 
the  book. 

Addresses  given  are  the  last  known  to  the  author. 

RODNKY  HORACE  YALE. 


INTRODUCTION. 


The  family  name  "Yale"  orig-inated  in  Wales  and  was  formerly 
spelled  "lal"  and  "Yal"  and  comes  from  the  commote,  hundred,  or  dis- 
trict of  Yale,  in  Powys  Fadog,  Wales.  The  district  of  Yale,  together 
with  the  adjoining  district  of  Bromfield  on  the  west,  have  formed  since 
the  end  of  the  thirteenth  century,  a  lordship,  known  as  the  lordship  of 
Bromfield  and  Yale.  Both  Bromfield  and  Yale  are  in  the  county  of 
Denbigh. 

The  district  of  Yale  is  an  upland  plain  bounded  on  all  sides  by  hills 
and  contains  the  old  parishes  of  Llandysiles  yn  Yale,  Bryn  Eglwys, 
L/lanarmon  yn  Yale,  Llandegla  yn  Yale  and  Llanrones.  Each  parish, 
except  the  last  named,  being  divided  into  townships. 

The  ancient  Yales  were  descended  from  Osborn  Fitz  Gerald  (Osbwrn 
Wyddel),  of  the  country  of  Merioneth,  Wales;  and  one  of  his  descendents, 
Ellis  ap  Griffith,  married  Margaret,  the  heiress  of  Plas  yn  Yale,  in  the 
lordship  of  Bromfield  and  Yale;  and  in  this  way  the  estate  of  Plas  yn 
Yale  came  into  the  familj%  and  the  descendants  of  Ellis  and  Margaret 
later  on  definitely  adopted  the  name  Yale  as  a  family  surname;  and 
with  the  exception  of  the  Lloyds  of  Bodidris,  with  whom  they  were  con- 
nected, were  the  most  important  family  in  Yale.  Thus  it  will  be  seen 
that  the  name  of  Yale,  as  well  as  the  estate  of  Plas  yn  Yale,  were  derived 
from  the  maternal  side  of  the  house.  Dr.  Thomas  Yale,  who  died  in  1577 
and  who  was  Chancellor  of  Matthew  Parker,  Archbishop  of  Canterbury 
and  grandson  of  Ellis  ap.  Griffith  and  his  wife  Margaret,  was  the  first 
to  definitely  assume  the  surname  of  Yale;  and  his  nephews,  Thomas 
Yale  and  Dr.  David  Yale  (Dr.  David  Lloyd),  who  were  respectively  the 
ancestors  of  the  Yales  of  Plas  yn  Yale  and  of  Plas  Grono,  continued  the 
name. 

Surnames  in  Wales  did  not  pass   from    father    to    son,    in    the    way 


8  INTRODUCTION 

to  which  we  are  now  accustomed,  until  the  latter  part  of  the  sixteenth 
century,  and  the  practice  was  not  definitely  settled  for  a  long-  time  after- 
wards. Sons  usually  had  for  a  surname,  the  g-iven  name  of  the  father; 
however  they  often  assumed  names  derived  from  estates,  castles,  towns 
or  districts;  and  as  we  have  previously  noted,  the  family  name  "Yale" 
was  derived  from  the  name  of  the  district  of  Yale,  in  the  lordship  of 
Bromfield  and  Yale. 

The  Yales,  although  natives  of  Wales,  were  of  Italian  and  Norman, 
as  well  as  British  blood.  There  seems  however  to  be  no  evidence  of  Sax- 
on stock  in  the  ancestr3\ 

The  first  ancestor  recorded  in  the  pedigree,  in  the  direct  male  line^ 
is  Dominus  Otho,  a  nobleman  from  Florence  Italy  (a  Florentine);  but  he 
was  not  the  only  ancestor  of  Italian  blood,  as  Cuneda,  the  head  of  the 
long-  line  of  British  king-s  and  princes,  from  whom  the  Yales  are  de- 
scended on  the  maternal  side  of  the  house,  was  no  doubt  partl}'^  of  Rom- 
an parentage. 

The  predominant  strain  in  this  ancient  ancestry  was  however  un- 
doubtedly British  (Brythonic),  as  the  maternal  ancestors  were  nearly 
all  ,  if  not  all,  Welsh  (British),  except  Alice  de  Montgomery,  through 
whom  came  the  connection  with  the  Normans. 

As  regards  the  personality  and  rank  of  these  early  ancestors,  it  can 
be  properly  stated  that  their  political  and  social  standing  was  on  an 
equality  with  the  great  nobles  and  the  rulers,  of  the  times.  There 
are  but  few,  if  any,  families  among  the  nobilitj'  of  any  land,  that  can 
point  to  a  more  honorable  and  noble  lineage,  than  that  of  the  Yales;  de- 
scended as  they  are  from  the  ancient  kings  and  princes  of  Britain  and 
from  the  greatest  of  all  the  Norman  lords,  Roger  de  Montgomery,  (who 
was  of  the  same  family  as  William  the  Conqueror),  as  well  as  from 
Maurice  Fitz  Gerald,  the  commander  of  the  first  expediton  in  the  Norman 
conquest  of  Ireland. 

The  antiquity  of  the  Yale  pedigree  is  equally  eminent,  dating  back 
as  it  does,  in  the  direct  male  line,  to  Dominus  Otho,  the  Florentine  noble, 
who  came  to  England  in  1057,  nine  j^ears  before  the  Norman  conquest; 
and  on  the  maternal  side  to  Cuneda,  the  first  ruler  of  the  Cymric  nation, 
about  the  year  415  A.  D.  But  few  noble,  or  in  fact  Royal  families,  can 
claim  greater  antiquity. 

The  pedigree  presented  herein  will   make  clear,  the  connections    re- 


INTRODUCTION 


f erred  to,  and  it  will  be  noted  that  the  Yales  are  connected  with  the 
House  of  Cuneda  and  the  succeeding  King's  and  Princes,  through  three 
distinct  maternal  lines.  One  of  these  maternal  ancestors  being,  Lowrie, 
daughter  of  Tudor  Glyndwr  (Tudor  ap  Griffith  Vychan),  and  niece  of 
the  memorable  Owen  Glyndwr.  Her  great  grandfather,  Thomas  ap 
Llewelyn,  as  will  be  noted,  was  also  the  ancestor  of  the  five  Tudor 
Kings  and  Queens  of  England,  and  the  present  King  Edward  VII,  as 
well. 

Her  grandfather  Griffith  Vychan,  was  descended  also  from  the  Kings 
and  Princes  of  Wales  and  the  Princes  of  Powys  Fadog,  who  lived  at 
Castle  Dinas  Bran. 

Another  one  of  the  three  Welsh  princesses  referred  to  in  the  preceding 
paragraph  was  Nesta,  the  "Helen  of  Wales,"  who  was  not  only  great 
in  herself  and  in  her  ancestry,  but  great  in  her  posterity  as  well. 

The  third  maternal  ancestor  referred  to  was,  Gladys,  daughter  of 
the  Prince  of  North  Wales. 

In  referring  to  the  pedigree  and  history  of  Wales,  it  will  be  seen  that 
the  ancestors  of  the  Yales,  among  the  Kings  and  Princes  of  Britain  and 
Wales,  were  mainly  the  sovereign  rulers.  Attention  is  called  to  this  fact, 
as  there  were  many  under  kings  and  princes  of  minor  importance,  who 
ruled  over  smaller  territories,  which  were  parts  of  the  whole  and  subject 
to  the  sovereign  king  or  prince. 

In  writing  the  foregoing  particulars  relative  to  the  ancient  ancestry 
of  the  Yales,  I  am  sensibly  aware  of  the  prevalent  practice  among 
writers  of  works  of  this  class,  to  endeavor  to  connect  the  family  lineage 
with  some  noted  historical  character,  whether  justified  in  so  doing  by 
authentic  records  or  not,  and  I  realize  that  many  are  disposed  to  scoff  at 
such  claims;  however  I  can  do  no  less  than  follow  the  indisputable  au- 
thorities bearing  on  the  origin  of  the  Yales  and  their  ancestry  and  feel 
a  sufficient  justification  in  presenting  the  matter  set  forth,  in  the  absolute 
knowledge  that  it  is  amply  substantiated  by  competent  and  reliable 
records.

The  above  is  a  very  ancient  compila- 
tion and  probably  is  a  list  of  Goidelic 
Kings  and  Princes  from  Beli  et  Anna,  to 
times  contemporary  with  Cuneda  and 
his  more  immediate  descendants.  It  AviU 
be  noted  that  Coyl  hen  (Coel  Hen)  (or 
Coel  Godebog),  the  father  of  Cuneda's 
wife,  has  a  place  here.  Dyfnwal  Moel- 
mud  (Dumngual  Moilmut)  the  Cymric 
law  maker,  before  the  time  of  Howel  Da, 
is  also  named  in  the  pedigree. 

Other  authorities  state  that  Coel  Hen 
(Coel  Godebog)  was  a  King  of  Britain. 


These  pedigrees  are  of  genuinely  very  ancient  origin  and  in  the  opinion  of  eminent 
authorities,  there  is  no  reason  at  all  to  doubt  their  authenticity.  Anna,  the  earliest  of 
the  line,  is  said  to  have  been  daughter  of  the  Emperor  of  Rome.  It  is  quite  likely  that 
the  earlier  portions  of  these  pedigrees,  however,  are  founded,  at  least  partly,  on  tradi- 
tion.    "Map"  means  "son  of."

WALES. 


The  Dominion  or  Principality  of  Wales  may  be  described  as  a  broad 
indented  peninsula,  situated  in  the  Southwestern  part  of  Great  Britain. 
Its  g-reatest  leng^th  from  North  to  South  is  about  135  miles,  and  its  breadth 
from  East  to  West  rang-es  from  35  to  95  miles.  It  is  bounded  on  the  North 
by  the  Irish  sea  and  the  estuary  of  the  Dee,  on  the  West  by  St.  George's 
Channel,  on  the  South  by  the  Bristol  Channel  and  on  the  East  by  the 
English  counties:  Cheshire,  Shropshire,  Herfordshire,  and  Monmouth- 
shire.    The  present  Eastern  boundary  was  settled  by  Henry  VIII. 

The  counties  of  Wales  are  named  as  follows,  with  their  Welsh  equiv- 
alents. 

Anglesey.  Ynys  Mon. 

Carnarvonshire.  Sir  Gaernarfon. 

Denbigshire.  Sir  Dinbych. 

Flintshire.  Sir  Fflint. 

Merionethshire.  Sir  Feirionyd. 

Montgomeryshire.  Sir  Drefaldwyn. 

Becknockshire.  Sir  Frycheiniog. 

Cardiganshire.  Sir  Aberteifi. 

Carmarthenshire.  Sir  Gaerfyrdin. 

Glamorganshire.  Sir  Forgannwg. 

Pembrokeshire.  Sir  Benfro. 

Radnorshire.  Sir  Faesyfed. 

Monmouthshire.  Sir  Fynwy. 

The  first  six  comprise  what  is  generally  termed  North  Wales,  and 
the  remainder  South  Wales.  Their  boundaries  preserve  to  some  extent 
the  ancient  divisions  of  the  Principality.  There  are  also  two  large 
country  boroughs,  Cardiff  and  Swansea. 

Monmouthshire  is  technically  an  English  county,  but  is  essentially 
Welsh  in  origin,  language  and  customs.  The  thirteen  counties  are 
divided  into  "hundreds,  "  poor-law  unions,  highway  districts,  etc.       The 


12  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

most  ancient  political  divisions  were  Cantrefs  and  Cymwds.  These  land 
divisions,  however,  should  not  be  confounded  with  the  division  of  the 
"Cymric,"  land  into  small  kingdoms  or  principalities,  among-  the  regal 
or  princely  families. 

The  g-eographical  boundaries  and  divisions  given  by  countries  are, 
as  indicated,  those  of  the  present  day  and  of  later  times.  The  Wales,  or 
Britain,  of  more  ancient  times,  in  the  daj^s  of  the  Romans  and  for  several 
centuries  thereafter,  comprised  a  large  part  of  what  is  now  Great  Britain. 
Extending  from  the  Bristol  Channel  on  the  South,  to  the  Clyde  and  the 
Forth  on  the  North,  including  as  well  the  South  Western  peninsula. 

Wales  is  quite  mountainous,  particularly  in  the  North,  where 
Snowdon,  the  culminating  point  of  South  Britain,  rises  to  a  height  of 
3571  feet.  It  is  rich  in  minerals,  particularily  copper,  coal  and  iron. 
Has  many  beautiful  lakes  and  numerous  rivers,  also  many  fertile  valleys. 

The  Welsh  cherish  their  ancient  Brythonic,  or  Cymric  (Celtic) 
language,  with  great  affection  and  it  is  quite  generaly  in  use  among 
the  people  at  the  present  time.  In  1891  there  were  508,000  persons  in 
Wales  who  habitually  spoke  only  Welsh;  402,000  who  spoke  both  Welsh 
and    English,  and  759,000  who  spoke  only  English. 

In  Welsh  "C"  has  always  the  sound  of  "K. "  however  the  present 
Welsh  alphabet  does  not  recognize  "K". 

"G"  never  has  the  English  sound  of  "J"  or  "dzh,"  as  in  John  or  James. 
"F"  is  sounded  "V",  but  "V"  is  not  included  in  the  modern  Welsh 
alphabet. 

"D"  has  the  sound  of  "th"  in  the  English  words  "this"  and'  'that". 

*'L1"  is  a  simple  and  single  consonant. 

"R"  is  trilled  as  in  Italian,  and  in  "rh",  it  is  a  surd  strengthened 
by  the  aspirate. 

"S"  is  never  sounded  "Z." 

"W"  and  "I"  may  be  either  vowels  or  consonants. 

"U"  is  sounded  like  "i"  in  the  word  "bit",  and  so  sometimes  is 
"Y."  Thus  "Gruff yd"  or  "Gruff ud"  is  sounded  and  spelled  in 
English  "Griffith." 

The  literature  of  the  Welsh  is  of  considerable  consequence  and  note? 
but  the  compositions  of  their  Bards  are  the  most  celebrated  and  best 
known.  These  poetry  making  singers  had  an  important  part  in  the 
national  life  of  ancient  Wales. 


WALES  13 

The  earliest  laws  of  Wales,  of  which  we  have  the  most  definite 
knowledge,  were  established  and  promulgated  by  Howel  Da  (Howel  the 
Good),  one  of  the  ancient  Kings  of  all  Wales,  about  942;  and  that  they 
were  good  laws  and  loved  by  the  people,  is  well  evidenced  by  the  fact  that 
they  remained  in  force  throughout  Wales,  practically  uninterruptedly, 
until  the  conquest  of  Edward  I.  in  1282,  a  period  of  340  years,  and  in 
some  sections  for  a  much  longer  time.  It  is  stated  that  Howel  summoned 
four  "laics"  and  two  "clerics"  from  each  cominote  in  his  dominions,  to 
meet  at  Ty  Gwyn  and  that  this  assembly,  under  his  direction  and  guid- 
ance, formed  these  laws. 

These  codes  deal  first  with  the  organization  of  the  household  of  the 
King.     Howel  appointed  the  following  servants  of  the  court: 

Chief  of  the  Household. 

Priest  of  the  Household. 

Steward. 

Chief  Falconer. 

Judge  of  the  Court. 

Chief  Groom. 

Page  of  the  Chamber. 

Bard  of  the  Household. 

Silentary. 

Chief  Huntsman. 

Mead  Brewer. 

Mediciner. 

Butler. 

Door  Ward. 

Cook. 

Candle-bearer. 

Including  eight  officers  of  the  queen: 

Steward. 

Priest. 

Chief  Groom. 

Page  of  the  Chamber. 

Handmaid. 

Doorward. 

Cook. 

Candle-bearer. 

The  rights,  privileges  and  duties  of  these  officers  were  set  out  in 
great  detail.  The  Chief  of  the  Household  was  required  to  be  of  the 
royal  blood. 


14  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Besides  these  twent3'-four  officers,  there  were  eleven  servants  of  the 
household,  i.e.: 

Groom  of  the  rein. 
Foot  holder. 
Land  Maer. 
Apparitor. 
Porter. 
Watchman. 
Woodman. 
Baking-  woman. 
Smith  of  the  Court. 
Chief  of  song. 
Laundress. 

There  was  also  a  "table  of  precedence,"  which  went  into  much 
detail. 

The  near  relations  of  the  king  formed  an  exclusive,  royal  class.  Next 
in  rank  were  the  nobles  or  "high  men";  then  the  bonedigion,  (gentlemen); 
and  then  the  unfree  persons;  and  finally  a  class  of  menial  or  domestic 
slaves,  which  of  course  was  the  lowest  class  of  all. 

Courts  were  established  by  these  laws,  judges  appointed  and  minute 
and  detailed  regulations  were  made,  for  thedutie«i,  rights  and  privileges 
of  the  people  and  for  the  enactment  of  justice  in  all  things  and  in  all 
matters,  according  to  the  views  and  ideas  of  these  ancient  lawmakers, 
which  were  evidently  wise  and  just  in  the  eyes  of  the  people,  who  fondly 
cherished  the  laws  which  they  promulgated,  for  many  centuries  and 
fought  numerous,  desperate  and  bloody  battles  for  their  retention,  as 
against  the  English  laws,  which  their  enemies  sought  to  enforce  upon 
them. 


HISTORY  OF  WALES 

AND 
The  Kings  and  Princes. 


(Names  of  Ancestors  of  the  Yales  are  in  Capitals.    Note  the  pedigree  numbers.) 

Wales  of  to-day  represents  and  for  many  centuries  past  has  rep- 
resented, in  its  people,  lang-uag-e  and  customs,  what  remains  of  ancient 
Britain  and  the  Brittones  or  Britons  (British).  The  British  Isles  (Great 
Britain  and  Ireland)  were  first  peopled  by  an  Aborig-inal  race,  perhaps 
the  Picts,  then  came  the  Goidels  in  the  sixth  century  before  the  Christian 
era,  or  before;  a  branch  of  the  Celts  of  the  Aryan  race,  who  spread  over 
perhaps  most  of  what  is  now  England,  and  Scotland,  before  they  were 
pressed  and  attacked  by  the  Brythons  or  Britons,  who  came  in  about  the 
second  century  before  Christ.  The  Brythons  were  another  branch  of  the 
Celts,  speaking-  a  different  yet  related  language  and  having  customs  and 
usages  not  known  to  the  Goidels.  The  language  of  the  Goidelic,  is 
represented  at  this  time  by  the  Gaelic  of  Ireland,  of  the  Isle  of  Man  and 
of  Scotland,  while  the  Brythonic  is  now  represented  by  the  Welsh.  The 
British  tribes  called  Silures,  Dimetae  and  Ordovices  were  of  Goidelic 
or  Brythonic  Stock. 

These  early  Celtic  tribes  had  a  long  line  of  British  Kings  who  were 
very  important  in  their  day,  both  before  and  after  the  coming  of  the 
Romans  to  Britain.  Julius  Csesar  led  the  Romans  in  their  first  in- 
vasions in  the  years  55  and  54  B.  C.  and  in  the  year  43  A.  D.,  they  began 
an  aggressive  campaign  which  resulted  finally  about  the  year  78  A.  D.  ? 
in  Roman  supremacj'^  throughout  the  greater  part  of  Britain.  The 
Romans  governed  the  country  and  protected  the  inhabitants  from  other 
invaders  in   their   accustomed   aggressive  way.     They  built,    about  the 


16  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

year  120  A.  D.,  a  wall  from  the  Solway  to  the  Tyne,  called  "Hadrian's 
Wall,"  after  Emperor  Hadrian;  and  about  the  year  143  his  successor 
built  a  turf  wall  from  the  Clyde  to  the  Forth,  which  was  rebuilt  in  ma- 
sonary  in  208  by  the  Emperor  Severus.  These  walls  were  constructed 
for  protection  against  the  warlike  tribes  in  the  North.  The  civil  ad- 
ministration of  Roman  Britain  was  practically  subordinate  to  the  mil- 
itary system.  The  head  of  the  civil  org^anization  was  called,  Vicar  of 
the  Britannias  ( Vicarius  Britanniarum).  The  militar}' command  was 
distributed  as  follows:  the  Count  of  Britain,  who  had  command  of  a 
bod  J'  of  troops  not  fixed  to  any  particular  locality;  The  General  or  Duke 
of  Britain  (Dux  Britanniarum)  or  (Dux  Britanniae)  who  had  command 
of  the  troops  on  the  Wall  and  in  the  country  south  of  it  to  the  Humber; 
and  the  Count  of  the  Saxon  Shore,  who  had  charge  of  the  south  east  part 
of  the  island,  Britain  was  treated  as  a  single  Roman  province  until  the 
3'ear  210.  when  Severus  divided  it  into  two,  called  Lower  and  Upper 
Britain.  In  297, Diocletian  divided  it  into  four  provinces  and  in  369  a 
fifth  was  made,  called  Valentia. 

The  affairs  of  the  Roman  Empire  required,  finally,  early  in  the  fifth 
century,  the  support  of  all  her  legions  at  home,  and  in  the  year  410,  the 
Roman  troops  and  Roman  authority  were  withdrawn  from  Britain  and 
the  Emperor  of  Rome  concerned  himself  no  more  with  the  affairs  of  the 
island. 

After  the  departure  of  the  Romans  the  inhabitants  seem  to  have 
maintained  a  more  or  less  successful  resistance  against  the  ravages  of 
the  Picts  and  Scots  of  the  North,  but  according  to  the  Saxon  narrative, 
they  were  finally  induced  to  seek  the  aid  of  the  Saxons,  to  repel  these  fero- 
cious Northern  neighbors,  and  three  ships  with  1600  men  were  sent  to 
them  under  the  command  of  the  Saxon  brothers  Hengest  and  Horsa, 
about  the  year  449.  A  complete  victory  was  soon  obtained  against  the 
foe  and  then  the  Saxons  turned  their  arms  against  the  Britons;  thus 
commencing  the  Saxon  conquest  of  Britain,  which  was  bitterly  contested 
for  more  than  150  j^ears.  The  Saxons  were  aided  by  other  Teutonic 
(German)  tribes,  the  Angles  (English)  and  Jutes,  and  finallj'  in  this 
period  named,  gained  supremacy  over  all  of  Britain  except  Strathcl3'de, 
(a  medieval  British  Kingdom  comprising  parts  of  Southwestern  Scot- 
land and  Northwestern  England),  Wales  and  West  Wales,  (Cornwall). 
The  resistance  of  the  Britons  was  determined,  tenacious  and  heroic,  bit-

terly  contesting  every  foot  and  every  inch  to  ttie  last  extremity,  with  a 
ferocious  and  aggressive  foe,  undoubtedly  greatly  superior  in  numbers 
as  v^ell  as  in  equipment.  The  Saxon  conquest  of  Britain  was  different, 
or  had  different  results,  than  that  of  any  other  conquest  known  to  history. 
In  other  conquests  a  considerable  portion  of  the  conquered  people  have 
remained  with  the  land  and  become  assimilated  by  the  conquerors,  but 
with  these  Britons  it  was  not  so;  when  finally  compelled  to  yield  to  the 
force  of  arms,  practically  the  entire  population  left  their  homes  and  the 
land  and  retreated  with  their  fighting  men,  leaving  to  the  conquerors 
uninhabited  and  also,  no  doubt,  devastated  territory.  These  results 
of  the  struggle  account  for  the  fact  that  the  population  of  England  offers 
no  evidence,  generally  speaking,  of  the  assimilation  of  Celtic  blood, 
while  the  population  of  Wales,  to  which  the  Britons  were  mainly  finally 
driven,  is  predominately  British  (Celtic).  The  term  "Brittones"  yields 
in  Welsh  the  name  "Brython,"  a  "Briton  or  Welshman." 

As  before  indicated,  the  portions  of  Britain  as  yet  unconquered  by 
the  end  of  the  sixth  century,  or  about  the  year  600,  comprised  the  entire 
western  part  of  the  island,  from  the  river  Clyde  in  Scotland,  to  the  English 
Channel;  this  territory  being  represented  by  Strathclyde,  afterwards 
called  Cumbria,  a  Cymric  (British)  Kingdom,  the  Kingdom  or  Princi- 
pality of  Wales  and  West  Wales  (now  Cornwall);  and  as  will  be  seen 
by  reference  to  current  maps,  it  comprised,  in  addition  to  all  of  Wales 
of  the  present  day,  and  all  of  England  on  the  Western  and  Southwestern 
coasts,  a  large  part  of  Southwestern  Scotland  as  well. 

This  large  remaining  British  territory  was  not  however  intact  as  late 
as  the  year  600,  as  the  Britons  of  Cornwall,  Devon,  Somerset  and  Glouces- 
ter, had  been  permanently  severed  from  the  Britons  of  what  is  now 
Wales,  by  the  Saxon  victory  at  the  battle  of  Deorham  in  the  year  577. 

The  desperate  struggle  continued,  the  Saxons,  Engles  (Angles,  or 
Englishmen)  and  Jutes  were  met  by  courage  and  valor  equal  to  their 
own,  no  territory  was  given  up  by  the  Briton  or  gained  by  the  conqueror, 
until  the  price  had  been  paid  in  the  blood  of  the  contestants.  As  each  bit 
of  ground  was  torn  away  by  the  stranger,  the  Briton  sullenl}'  withdrew 
from  it,  only  to  turn  and  fight  doggedly  for  another. 

The  next  event  of  great  historical  importance  was  the  battle  of  Chester 
in  616,  (the  date  given  by  Saxon  writers  is  607,  but  616  seems  more  likely 
correct,  according  to  Celtic  authority.)    At  this  battle  2000 British  monks, 


18  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

from  Bansfor  Icoed  Monastry,  who  stood  apart  from  their  army,  with  ajms 
outstretched  in  prayer,  were  ruthlessly  slaughtered  by  the  Eng-lish  or 
Saxons,  under  ^thelfrith.  This  victory  of  the  English  was  complete, 
and  by  the  fall  of  Chester,  which  stood  at  the  juncture  of  the  British 
Kingdoms  of  Wales  and  Cumbria,  the  Welsh  were  permanently  cut  off 
from  their  northern  allies,  and  Britain  as  a  single  political  bod 3'^  practi- 
cally^ ceased  to  exist;  the  British  territories  of  Wale$,  Cumbria  and  Corn- 
wall, having  been  permanentl3^  segregated  from  each  other  by  conquest. 

Before  proceeding  further  with  the  narrative  it  is  best  to  deal  briefly 
with  the  political  organization  of  the  Britons  after  the  departure  of  the 
Romans.  It  seems  likelj^  that  they  must  have  for  a  time  endeavored  to 
maintain  the  offices  of  authority  to  which  they  had  been  accustomed  for 
several  centuries  under  Roman  domination;  however,  it  is  probable  that 
the  actual  government  was  administered  mainly  by  a  number  of  sub- 
kings  or  princes,  over  their  respective  tribes.  It  is  definitely  known, 
however,  that  sometime  after  the  Romans  left,  the  Britons  in  the  western 
portions  of  the  island,  comprising  Cumbria,  Wales  and  perhaps  Cornwall 
and  other  sections,  from  the  Clyde  in  the  North  to  the  English  Channel  on 
the  South,  organized  themselves  into  some  sort  of  a  confederation  known  as 
the  '  *Cjmir3^  "  It  is  impossible  to  state  when  the  national  life  of  the  Cym- 
ry  began,  but  its  inception  was  no  doubt  partly  due  to  the  assumption  of 
the  authority  of  the  Brythons  over  theGoidels  and  partly  to  the  necessity 
of  organization  of  these  two  branches  of  Celts  to  withstand  the  encroach- 
ments of  the  Saxons,  Angles  and  Jutes.  At  any  rate  they  considered 
themselves  collectively  as  one  nation,  from  the  time  thej^  recognized  the 
term  Cj'mrj?^  and  acknowledged  the  over-lordship  of  a  king  or  ruler 
who  was  called  the  "Gwledig, "  and  w^hose  office,  or  dignitj'-,  was  sooner 
or  later  known  as  the  "Crown  of  Britain. ' '  The  authority  of  the  gwledig 
appears  to  have  been  partly  based  upon  his  claim  to  be  the  successor  of 
the  Roman  officer  called  the  Dux  Britanniarum,  and  partly  on  earlier 
tribal  notions  of  political  and  military  organization.  In  time  the  terri- 
tory over  which  the  confederation  spread  came  to  be  called  "Cymru" 
and  the  predominant  language,  '  'Cymraeg. ' '  However  the  national  terms 
were  '^Britain"  and  "Britons,"  until  the  territory  was  finally  reduced 
to   the   confines   of  Wales,  and  even  much  later;  in  fact  until  about  1135. 

The  word  Cymro  means  "compatriot"  and  also  "Welshman;"  the 
plural  being  "Cymr3\" 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  19 

As  reg-ards  the  rulers  or  kings  in  Britain  subsequent  to  Roman  occu- 
pation, the  names  of  Vortigern  and  King  Arthur  are  prominent  in  the 
English  histories;  the  former  in  connection  with  the  Hengest  and  Horsa 
narrative  and  the  latter  in  connection  with  heroic  exploits  pertaining  to 
the  struggles  of  his  countrymen  with  the  Teutonic  tribes.  The  Celtic 
authorities  do  not  seem  to  disclose  anything  especially  definite  as  to  the 
careers  of  either  of  these  characters,  as  regards  the  parts  they  took  in 
actual  events,  or  the  territory  over  which  they  ruled. 

In  any  event  the  earliest  ruler  of  this  British  organization,  or  of  the 
Cj-mry  andof  "Cymru"  (theland  of  theCymry)of  which  there  is  distinct 
evidence  from  Cymric  sources,  was  (A  1)  Cuneda,  whose  name  is  well 
known  to  Welsh  literature.  In  fact,  the  beginning  of  the  history  of  the 
Cymric  nation,  as  an  independent  political  body,  must  be  associated 
with  the  migration  into  North  Wales  of  a  Brythonic  tribe,  whose  chief 
was  this  Cuneda  Wledig,  (the  ruler)  and  who  established  his  rule  over 
Wales,  and  united  the  Celtic  tribes  of  the  west  of  Britain  into  a  kind  of 
confederation  under  his  leadership.  This  was  soon  after  the  Romans 
left  Britain,  perhaps  about  the  year  415  A.  D.,  and  before  the  beginning 
of  the  Saxon  or  Teutonic  conquest  of  Britain. 

Cuneda  was  the  son  of  ^tern  (^ternus),  who  was  son  of  Patern  Pes- 
rut  (Paternus  of  the  Red  Tunic).  "The  Red  Tunic"  probably  had 
reference  to  the  purple  of  office.  Patern  Pesrut  was  son  of  Tacit  (Tacitus). 
Cuneda's  ensign  was  a  "Red  Dragon,"  which  came  with  the  title  of 
Dux  Britanniae,  from  the  Romans,  and  it  was  the  standard  of  the  rulers 
of  Britain  and  Wales  for  many  centuries  after  him.  The  title  Dux 
Brittonum  afterwards  became  Rex  Brittonum,  or  king.  His  wife  was 
daughter  of  Coel  Hen  (Coel  Godebog),  who  was  of  the  line  of  ancient  Brit- 
ish Kings  who  ruled  in  Britain  before  the  Romans  came  to  the  island. 
It  seems  certain  that  Cuneda's  family  w^ere  Christains  and  perhaps 
partly  of  Roman  descent. 

Cuneda  and  his  sons  were  no  doubt  the  founders  of  the  British  or 
Cymric  Nation,  which  arose  after  the  Romans  left  Britain,  and  the  in- 
ception of  this  national  confederation  of  the  British  tribes  under  one 
ruler,  was  no  doubt  partly  due  to  the  necessity  of  such  an  organization 
to  combat  the  encroachments  of  the  Teutonic  tribes  which  began,  as 
before  stated,  about  4+9. 

Cuneda  had  held  after  the  departure  of  the  Romans,  the  title  and  au- 


20  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

thority  of  the  Dux  Britanniae,  and  this  office  seems  to  have  represented 
the  predominant  militarj^ authority  in  the  island.  He  was  in  immediate 
command  of  the  troops  on  the  Roman  wall  after  the  Romans  went  away, 
but  later,  in  response  to  appeals  from  North  Wales,  he  marched  there 
with  his  troops  and  expelled  the  Goidels  and  Scots  from  that  territory, 
and  organized  a  government,  which  sooner  or  later  spread  its  authority 
over  all  of  Wales  and  other  portions  of  Western  Britain,  comprising- most 
if  not  all,  of  the  western  territorj^  from  the  English  channel  on  the  South 
to  the  River  Clyde  in  the  North. 

The  authorityofCuNEDA as  ruler  (the  "Crownof  Britain")  descended 
to  his  sons,  and  thus  was  founded  a  dynasty,  which  retained  its  sover- 
eignity until  the  death  of  Llewelyn  in  1282,  a  period  of  nearly  900  years; 
becoming  one  of  the  very  oldest  Royal  families  of  western  Europe.  The 
rule  of  the  family  of  Cuneda  no  doubt  continued  over  western  Britain 
in  the  larger  sense  for  a  very  long  time,  as  his  great  great  grandson 
(A5)  Maelgwn,  exercised  sway  over  the  whole  of  the  country  from  the 
Firth  of  Forth  to  the  Severn  Sea,  about  the  years  535  to  570,  and  the 
sovereignity  of  the  family  was  not  likely  materially  lessened  until  the 
battles  of  Doerham  in  577  and  of  Chester  in  616,  and  not  finally  reduced 
to  the  confines  of  Wales  until  the  defeat  and  death  of  (A  10)  King  Cad- 
WALLON  in  635  and  in  the  defeat  of  his  son  (A  11)  King  Cadwaladr  the 
Blessed  in  the  year  664.  Anyway,  Maelgwn's  son  (A  6)  Rhun,  seems 
to  have  maintained  the  family  prestige  over  the  larger  territory  during 
his  reign.  Cadwaladr  is  said  to  have  been  the  last  Cymric  King 
(King  of  the  Britons)  to  wear  the  "Crown  of  Britain,"  and  this  is  no 
doubt  true  as  regards  sovereignity  over  the  Cymry  of  Britain  out- 
side of  Wales,  for  it  is  certain  that  after  his  defeat  the  authority  of 
the  descendents  of  Cuneda,  as  rulers,  did  not  extend  beyond  the  borders 
of  Wales,  for  any  settled  period  of  time.  King  Cadwallon,  the  father  of 
Cadwaladr,  was  great  great  great  grandson  of  King  Maelgwn  (Mail- 
cun),  and  the  latter  was,  as  before  stated,  great  great  grandson  of 
Cuneda. 

From  the  death  of  Cadwaladr  in  664  to  the  death  of  GrufTyd  ab 
Llewelyn  in  1063,  a  period  of  about  400  years,  the  authentic  history  of 
Wales  affords  but  few  details  pertaining  to  national  events;  the  records 
seem  to  have  preserved  the  names  of  a  line  of  kings  or  princes,  with  only 
brief  accounts  of  their  deeds,  consisting  principally  of  battles  and  skir- 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  21 

mishes  with  their  English  and  Danish  foes,  and  between  their  own 
tribes. 

The  Cymric  nation  in  passing-  to  the  sons  of  Cuneda,  of  whichThere 
were  nine,  (some  authorities  say  twelve)  was  divided  into  a  number  of 
Kingdoms  or  principalities  and  the  Kingdom  of  North  Wales  (Gwyned), 
seemed  from  the  earliest  organization  to  have  had  a  sort  of  over-lordship 
over  the  others.  The  King  of  Gwyned  was  also  the  King  of  the  Cymric 
nation,  when  the  Cymry  first  emerged  into  history,  and  also  when  Cymru 
territory  covered  practically  all  of  Western  Britain,  from  the  Clyde  in 
present  day  Scotland  in  the  North,  to  the  English  Channel  on  the  South; 
as  well  as  afterwards,  when  the  land  of  Cymru  had  been  reduced  to 
the  boundaries  of  Wales.  Therefore  it  will  doubtless  be  understood  that 
Wales  consisted  of  a  number  of  small  kingdoms  or  principalities,  each 
of  which  had  its  King  or  Prince,  subject  in  a  way,  to  the  over-lordship 
of  the  King  of  Gwyned,  who  was  by  inheritance,  the  King  of  the  Cymry 
and  therefore  of  Wales.  All  of  these  Welsh  Kings  and  princes,  from 
the  greatest  to  the  smallest,  owed  their  authority  to  their  descent  from 
Cuneda,  or  by  virtue  of  marriage  to  his  descendants. 

The  quarrels  of  the  Welsh  rulers  were  numerous  and  frequent,  also 
oftentimes  sanguinary  and  certainly  continued;  as  there  were  doubtless 
but  few  years  free  from  civil  strife,  during  the  long  period  from  Cadwal- 
adr's  death  in  the  year  664,  to  the  final  extinction  of  Welsh  independence 
in  1282,  a  stretch  of  618  years.  Who  would  say  that  there  is  not  a  prob- 
ability that  Welsh  independence  might  have  continued  to  the  present  day, 
had  it  not  been  for  this  weakening  civil  strife. 

The  ancient  principal  divisions  of  Wales  were  Gwyned,  (North 
Wales)  Powys  (Mid-Wales),  and  South  Wales  (sometimes  called  Deheu- 
barth).  These  three  principal  divisions  were  also  sub-divided  into 
small  principalities  or  kingdoms,  such  as  Mon,  Powys  Fadog,  Dyfed, 
Gwent  and  others,  each  having  its  own  king  or  prince.  All  of  the  rulers 
of  these  principal  divisions  and  sub-divisions  being,  as  before  stated,  ac- 
cording to  the  ancient  theory  of  the  government  of  the  Cymric  nation, 
subject  to  the  over-lordship  of  the  King  of  Gwj'ned.  This  authority  was 
sometimes  almost  absolute,  or  at  least  quite  definite,  and  at  other  times 
quite  nominal,  being  in  fact  known  almost  only  in  theory,  for  sundry 
periods. 

The  Rulers  of  Gwj^ned   immediately  succeeding   Cadwaladr  were, 


22  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

according"  to  the  most  trustworthy  evidence,  successively,  (A  12)  Iutgual 
(also  called  Idwal  Ywrch)  who  reig-ned  until  720;  (A  13)  Rhodri  Mol- 
WYNOG  (called  King- of  the  Britons),  who  died  in  754;  (A  14)  Kynan  or 
Cynon  (called  also  Conan  Tindaethwy)  who  died  in  817;  (A  15)  Esyllht 
(or  Etthil)  a  daughter  of  Cynon,  who  married  Merfyn  Frych  and 
reig-ned  until  the  year  841;  and  their  son  (A  16)  Merfyn  Frych  (or  Mer- 
min),  who  died  in  battle  with  the  English  in  844.  Then  came  Rotri,  or 
(A  17)  Rhodri  Maw^r,  (Roderick  the  Great).  "Mawr"  means  in  En- 
glish "the  Great."  Rhodri  was  one  of  the  greater  rulers  of  Wales. 
He  was  the  hereditary  King  of  Gwyned,  and  in  addition  to  whatever  an- 
cient authority  this  position  held,  he  also  became  through  his  wife, 
daughter  of  Meurig  ab  Dyinwa.!,  King  of  Ceredigion,  lord  over  part 
of  South  Wales,  and  through  his  grandmother  Nest,  ruler  over  Powys. 
He  fought  many  battles  with  the  Mercians  and  Danes,  and  in  877  he  was 
slain  in  battle  with  the  Saxons.  He  is  said  to  have  been  absolute  ruler 
over  all  of  Wales  and  while  he  was  descended  from  Cuneda,  it  is  also 
stated  in  Burke's  Landed  Gentrj-,  page  1328,  of  1906,  that  he  was  de- 
scended from  Coel  Godebog,  75th  British  King,  and  Beli  Bawr,  sover- 
eign of  Britain,  and  this  is  confirmed  by  the  ancient  pedigree  herein,  as 
well  as  by  other  authorities.  After  his  death,  three  of  his  sons  assumed 
authority  over  his  possessions.  His  son  (D18)  Anarawd  had  >.'orth 
Wales,  another  son  (A  18)  Cadell,  had  South  Wales  and  the  third  son 
Merfyn,  had  Powys.     They  were  called  ''the  three  diademed  princes." 

Before  continuing  with  the  succession  of  events,  it  is  best  to  state 
that  Offa  of  Mercia,  (King  of  one  of  the  Saxon  or  English  Kingdoms),  in 
757  to  776  and  later,  engaged  in  fierce  contests  with  the  Welsh,  and  about 
776  built  the  famous  Off^a's  dyke,  a  wall  of  earth,  from  about  the  estuary 
of  the  Dee  to  the  m^uth  of  the  Wye;  which  was  recognized  for  a  time  as 
the  boundry  line  of  Cymru.  Also  it  is  well  to  state  at  this  time,  that 
about  the  years  809-817,  Ecgbrj^ht  the  Saxon  King,  subdued  the  Cymric 
Kingdom  of  Cornwall,  which  had  been  separated  from  the  Cymry  of 
Wales  in  577,  by  the  battle  of  Doerham. 

Returning  to  Rhodri's  successors:  Anarawd  ruled  in  Gwyned  for 
38  years.  His  palace  was  at  Aberfraw,  Anglesey.  He  died  in  915  and 
was  succeeded  by  his  son  (D  19)  Idwal  Voel,  whose  wife  was  his  cousin 
Avandreg,  daughter  of  Merfyn,  King  of  Powys.  Anarawd  defeated 
the   Saxons  in  a   great  battle  near  the  Conway  in  880. 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  23 

Cadell,  King-  of  South  Wales,  or  Deheubarth,  whose  palace  was 
Castle  Dinefwr  or  Dynevor,  in  Carmarthenshire,  South  Wales,  died 
some  years  before  his  brother  Anarawd,  about  907,  and  was  succeeded 
by  his  son  (A  19)  Howel,  afterwards  called  (A  19)  Howel  Da,  (Howel 
"the  Good.")  There  is  no  record  of  Merfyn's  descendants  retaining- 
any  claim  to  Powys.  During  the  reigns  of  Idwal  and  Howel  almost 
universal  peace  prevailed  in  Wales.  Idwal  was  however  killed  in  bat- 
tle with  the  English  in  943  and  his  cousin  Howel  Da,  became  his  suc- 
cessor, as  King  of  Gwyned;  thus  becoming  the  ruler  over  both  North 
and  South  Wales  and  the  "King  of  the  Britons";  or  putting  it  in  an- 
other way,  King  of  Cymru. 

Howel  Da  was  the  law  maker  of  Wales.  The  ancient  Welsh  laws 
were  compiled  by  him  and  under  his  direction,  about  the  years  942-950, 
He  died  in  950  after  a  long,  peaceful  and  prosperous  reign.  He  was  a 
great  and  good  king.  His  wife  was  Elen,  daughter  of  loumare  ab  Hy- 
meid,  King  of  Dyfed. 

Peace  disappeared  from  Wales  with  the  death  of  Howel  Da,  and 
for  the  next  113  years,  until  the  death  of  Gruffyd  ab  Llewelyn  in  1063, 
sanguinary  strife  with  the  English  and  Danes  and  between  the  Welsh 
princely  families,  was  almost  incessant.  There  was  war  at  once  be- 
tween (A  20)  OwAiN,  Dyfnwal,  Rhodri  and  Edwyn,  the  sons  of  Howel, 
on  one  side,  and  leuaf  and  lagothe  sons  of  Idwal  Voel,  on  the  other,  for 
the  possession  of  North  Wales.  Howel's  sons  were  defeated  at  a  battle 
at  Carno  in  950  and  leuaf  and  lago  assumed  joint  authority  over  Gwyned, 
setting  aside  the  rights  of  an  elder  brother,  (D  20),  Meurig  ab  Idwal 
Voel,  whom  they  blinded  and  imprisoned.  The  sons  of  Howel  however 
again  invaded  Gwyned  in  954,  but  were  a  second  time  defeated  in  a 
battle  at  Llanrwst  by  the  sons  of  Idwal,  who  in  return  then  invaded 
South  Wales,  but  were  driven  back  with  great  slaughter. 

Howel's  four  sons,  as  will  be  understood ,  succeeded  to  the  Kingdom 
of  Deheubarth  (South  Wales),  but  lost  whatever  rights  they  had  in  North 
Wales,  by  defeat  in  the  battles  mentioned.  Dyfnwal,  Rhodri  and  Edwyn 
soon  died  (about  the  years  951-953)  and  (A  20)  Owain  ab  Howel  reigned 
alone  until  his  death  in  987  or  989.  Owain 's  long  reign  of  about  37  years 
was  not  especially  eventful;  there  were  the  usual  raids  of  the  Danes  to 
contend  against  and  some  conflicts  with  the  English;  also  some  raids 
conducted  by  his  sons    (A  21)   Maredyd  and  (C  21)   Eineon,    for  the  ex- 


24  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

tension  of  territorj'.     He  was  succeeded  in  Deheubarth  bj''  his  son  (A  21) 
Maredyd  ab  Owain. 

.  In  Gwyned  the  brothers  leuaf  and  lag-o  had  quarrelled  and  lag-o 
seized  leuaf  and  caused  him  to  be  blinded  and  then  hang^ed;  but  leuaf 
had  a  son  Howel,  who  soon  avenged  his  father's  death  by  expelling-  lago 
and  taking  possession  of  Gwyned  himself  in  the  year  972.  lago  was  cap- 
tured by  the  Danes  in  978  and  nothing  more  is  heard  of  him.  This 
Howel  ab  leuaf,  also  called  Howel  Drwg^,  (meaning  Howel  the  Bad)  soon 
had  to  contest  for  his  kingdom  with  Kystenin  orCystenin,  a  son  of  lago, 
who  w^as  aided  by  Godfrey,  son  of  Harold  of  England;  but  Howel  defeated 
them  at  Hirbarth,  and  Kystenin  was  slain.  In  984  Howel  was  killed 
by  the  "Saxons  through  treachery,"  He  left  two  sons,  Maig,  who  was 
killed  in  985,  and  Cadwallon,  who  took  possession  of  Gwyned,  but  he 
also  was  almost  immediately  defeated  and  killed  in  battle  by  Maredyd  ab 
Owain,  King  of  Deheubarth.  Thus  again  the  Kingdoms  of  Deheubarth 
(South  Wales)  and  Gwyned  (North  Wales)  were  united  under  one  head; 
however  Maredyd's  rule  over  Gwyned  seems  to  have  been  only  nominal. 
It  is  stated  that  he  also  ruled  in  Powys  by  right  of  his  mother,  and  he 
is  placed  by  Caradog,  an  eminent  Welsh  authority,  in  the  line  of  the 
kings  or  princes  who  ruled  over  all  Wales.  He  was  chiefly  occupied  in 
engagements  with  the  Danes  and  in  attacks  on  Gwyned  and  Morgannwg, 
and  he  fairly  maintained  in  very  disturbed  times,  the  prestige  of  the 
house  of  Howel  Da.  He  died  a  natural  death  in  998  or  999,  leaving  only 
one  child,  a  daughter,  (A  22)  Angharad,  who  married  LleweU-n  ab 
Seisyllt,  and  also  later  on,  Cynfyn.  The  former  by  right  of  his  wife, 
assumed  the  government  of  Deheubarth. 

Returning  to  the  affairs  of  Gwyned  we  find  that{D  21)  Idw^al  a  son  of 
Meurig,  who  was  a  son  of  Idwal  Voel  and  brother  of  leuaf  and  lago, 
had  returned  in  992  and  claimed  the  Kingdom  from  Maredyd  ab  Owajn, 
and  was  successful  in  a  battle  with  Maredyd's  sons  in  993,  whereby  he 
wrested  Maredyd's  authority  in  North  Wales  from  him  and  became  king 
of  that  domain.  He  did  not  enjoy  his  success  long,  however,  for  he  was 
killed,  supposedl}^  by  the  Danes,  in  995.  He  left  a  young  son  (D  22)  Iago 
who  was  put  aside  for  a  time,  but  many  years  later  finally  became  ruler 
over  Gwyned. 

Following  the  death  of  (D  21)  Idwal  ab  Meurig,  Cynan  ab  Howel 
and  Aedan  ab  Blegored,    also  others,    aspired   to  the   rule   of  Gwyned. 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  25 

Cynan  was  killed  in  battle  in  1003  and  Aedan  and  his  four  sons  were 
killed  in  1016  in  a  fight  with  Llewelyn  abSeisyllt,  who  as  we  have  seen, 
was  King- of  Deheubarth;  and  thus  again  these  two  kingdoms  were  brought 
under  one  ruler.  With  the  reign  of  Llewelyn  began  a  fresh  growth  of 
Cymric  power,  which  attained  its  greatest  development  in  the  reign  of 
his  son  Gruffyd  ab  Llewelyn.  The  English  and  Danes,  who  had  har- 
rassed  the  Welsh  for  so  many  of  the  preceding  years,  were  very  busy 
with  their  own  affairs  in  England  at  this  time  and  the  Cymry  were  there- 
fore afforded  some  relief  from  their   attacks,    for  a  considerable  period. 

Furthermore,  during  this  period,  in  1016,  Cnut  the  Dane,  became 
King  of  England  and  he  wisely  exerted  himself  to  promote  trade  and 
manufacturing,  rather  than  war,  and  the  incursions  of  the  Danish 
marauders  from  the  sea  ceased  entirely. 

It  is  stated  that  Llewelyn  also  ruled  over  Powys,  but  it  is  not  posi- 
tively certain  that  he  did,  at  any  rate  he  was  the  ruler  of  both  Gwyned 
and  Deheubarth  for  a  number  of  years,  with  great  credit  to  himself,  and 
during  a  period  of  prosperity  among  his  people.  There  were  two  re- 
bellions in  South  Wales  during  his  reign,  in  1019  and  1020,  both  of  which 
were  promptly  subdued.  Llewelyn  died  in  1023  at  the  height  of  his 
power.  He  left  a  son,  Gruffyd,  who  took  an  important  part  in  affairs 
later,  but  during  the  earlier  years  after  Llewel3^n's  death,  Iago  the  son 
of  Idwal  ab  Meurig,  mentioned  in  a  preceding  paragraph,  became  ruler 
over  Gwyned,  and  Deheubarth  was  siezed  by  Rhyderch  ab  lestyn.  The 
latter  was  slain  by  Irish-Scots  in  1031  or  1033  and  Howel  and  Maredyd, 
sons  of  Edwin,  who  was  son  of  Eineon,  a  grandson  of  Howel  Da,  took 
his  place,  and  although  the  sons  of  Rhyderch  revolted  and  a  battle  was 
fought  a  year  later  at  Hiraethwy,  the}^  retained  the  kingdom.  Meredyd 
however  was  soon  afterwards  killed  in  an  obscure  conflict,  and  Howel 
was  left  in  sole  possession  of  Deheubarth. 

Some  six  years  after  these  events,  in  the  j'^ear  1037,  Gruffyd  ab 
Llewelyn,  the  young  son  of  Llewelyn  ab  Seisyllt,  who  had  however 
reached  manhood,  asserted  his  rights  and  attacked  Iago,  King  of  Gwyned, 
and  slew  him  and  seized  his  kingdom;  this  attack,  however,  seems  to  have 
been  incited  by  Iago  having  given  protection  to  one  lestyn  ab  Gwrgant, 
who  had  ravished  Arden,  Gruffyd's  cousin,  a  daughter  of  Robert  ab 
Seisyllt,  and  then  fled  to  him.  Gruffyd  immediately  supplemented  his 
assumption  of  rule  over  Gwyned  with  other  aggressive  campaigns  and  the 


26  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

C^'mry  suddenly  developed,  under  his  leadership,  a  military  capacity'  and 
power  which  had  not  been  displaj^ed  for  centuries;  and  during"  his  reign 
reached  greater  strength  than  had  before  been  attained  since  Cadwaladr. 
He  united  the  forces  of  Wales  under  his  leadership,  after  having- brought 
the  other  Welsh  Kingdoms  under  his  rule,  and  became  a  factor  of  con- 
siderable importance  in  the  affairs  of  the  whole  island,  and  a  dangerous 
and  powerful  foe  to  the  King  of  England.  He  led  several  campaigns 
into  England;  the  first  was  into  Mercia  in  1039,  where  he  defeated  the 
English  in  a  battle  at  Rhj^d-j'-Groes  on  the  Severn,  in  which  Edwine, 
brother  of  Earl  Leofric  of  Mercia,  was  slain.  Afterwards  he  formed  an 
alliance  with  Earl  Leofric  and  married  his  granddaughter,  Ealdgyth, 
daughter  of  his  son  .^Ifgar,  who  in  later  years  became  the  wife  of 
Harold  II.  of  England. 

Gruffyd  was  on  friendly  terms  with  Edward  the  Confessor,  King  of 
England,  and  secured  from  him  a  grant  of  all  the  lands  west  of  the  Dee, 
that  had  formerly  been  possessed  by  the  English. 

In  1052  he  again  invaded  England  and  fought  a  battle  with  "the 
landsmen  as  well  as  the  Frenchmen  of  the  Castle"  in  Hereford  near 
Leominster,  inflicting  considerable  loss  on  his  enemies. 

In  1055  his  father-in-law,  ^Ifgar,  Earl  of  Mercia,  was  outlawed  and 
fled  to  Ireland,  returning  to  Gruff  yd  in  Wales  with  a  fleet  of  eighteen 
ships,  they  invaded  England  at  the  head  of  a  great  force,  de- 
feated the  English  under  Ralph  the  Earl,  near  Hereford,  with  great 
slaughter.  Then  took  and  burned  Hereford  and  slew  the  priests  who 
were  in  the  church,  retiring  with  much  booty.  Harold's  son  Godwine, 
was  then  made  Earl  in  Ralph's  place  and  a  great  English  army  was 
gathered;  but  Gruifyd  evaded  a  conflict.  Negotiations  were  then  taken 
up  between  Harold  and  ^Ifgar  and  Gruff^^d.  ^-Elfgar  was  in-lawed  as 
Earl  and  Gruffyd  gave  up  the  lands  West  of  the  Dee,  previously  granted 
to  him. 

There  was  again  some  fighting  between  Grufl'^^d  and  the  English 
in  1058,  but  in  the  main  he  remained  quiet  until  after  the  death  of  ^^Ifgar 
about  1062.  It  seems  he  must  have  given  the  English  some  trouble  in  the 
latter  part  of  1062,  for  Harold,  (who  in  1066  became  the  King  of  England), 
decided  it  seems,  to  attempt  to  crush  this  dangerous  and  formidable  enemy. 
He  attacked  the  chief  palace  of   Gruffyd  at   Rhuddlan,  near  the   end 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  27 

1062;  Gruffyd  escaped  by  sea  and  Harold  burned  the  place,  with  the  re- 
maining" ships. 

This  event  had  an  unfavorable  effect  upon  Gruffyd's  power  and 
prestige,  especially  in  South  Wales;  and  it  is  evident  that  he  had  many 
enemies  among  the  Welsh,  who  regarded  him  as  an  oppressor  and  tyrant. 

Harold  followed  up  his  first  success  and  in  conjunction  with  his 
brother  Tostig  planned  a  campaign  by  both  land  and  sea,  Harold  tak- 
ing command  of  the  fleet  and  Tostig  of  the  land  forces,  They  began 
this  vigorous  campaign  early  in  the  summer  of  1063.  The  fleet  left 
Bristol  and  sailed  along  the  coast,  landing  at  points  where  damage 
could  be  inflicted.  The  English  land  forces  gave  up  their  armour  and 
fought  much  after  the  same  fashion  as  the  Welsh.  No  quarter  was  given 
and  the  fighting,  while  of  the  guerilla  kind,  was  desperate  and  furious. 
The  Welsh  finally  made  a  truce  with  Harold,  and  Gruffyd,  it  is  stated 
by  the  chronicler,  was  slain  in  August  1063  by  Welshmen,  because  "of  the 
war  he  waged  with  Harold  the  Earl."  It  is  al?o stated  that  the  Welsh 
sentenced  him  to  deposition. 

Harold  had  been  ruthless  in  his  campaign  against  Gruffyd,  but  as 
soon  as  he  had  been  disposed  of  he  procceeded  to  dispose  of  the  kingdom, 
by  dividing  it  between  two  native  Princes  of  Wales,  who  were  half 
brothers  of  Gruffyd:  (A  23)  Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn  and  (B  23)  Rhiwallon 
AB  Cynfyn;  however  considerable  portions,  in  the  Vale  of  Clwyd,  a 
part  of  Radnorshire,  and  a  portion  of  Gwent,  became  from  this  time 
English  possessions. 

As  stated,  Gruffyd  ab  Llewelyn  ab  Seisyllt,  who  was  defeated  and 
slain  in  Harold's  campaign,  was  a  half  brother  of  Bledyn  and  Rhi- 
wallon, who  succeeded  to  his  kingdom.  Their  mother  was  Angharad, 
daughter  of  Maredyd  ab  Owain,  (King  of  Wales)  who  first  married 
Llewelyn  ab  Seisyllt  and  later  also  married  Cynfyn. 

The  Battle  of  Senlac,  or  Hastings,  in  England,  on  Oct.  14,  1066,  was 
an  event  of  far  reaching  and  widespread  importance  to  England,  and 
through  the  great  changes  which  were  wrought  in  the  political  and  mil- 
itary affairs  of  England,  by  this  decisive  victory  of  the  Normans  under 
William  the  Conqueror,  over  the  English,  its  results  finally  had  great 
effect  on  the  affairs  of  Wales.  However,  the  Welsh  and  those  who  trace 
their  ancestry  to  Welsh  families,  have  good  reason  to  note  with  pride, 
that  while  the  Normans  conquered  England  at   almost  a   single   stroke 


28  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

and  practically  by  a  sing-le  battle,  it  took  them  two  hundred  and  sixteen 
years  to  conquer  Wales;  and  it  seems  very  likely  they  would  not  have 
succeeded  even  at  the  end  of  that  long-  stretch  of  years,  covering-  as  it 
did,  nearlj^  two  and  one-fourth  centuries,  had  they  relied  solely  on  mil- 
itary operations.  The  process  finally  adopted  by  the  Normans  for  the 
subjugation  of  Wales  was,  both  militarj^  and  economic.  It  consisted  of 
militarj^  campaigns  of  conquest,  the  building  of  strong  castles  for  the 
quartering  of  garrisons  within  the  territory,  and  the  permanent  settle- 
ment of  their  people  on  the  lands  adjacent  to  and  protected  by  the  castles  ; 
also  the  inter-marriages  of  some  of  the  Norman  leaders,  with  members 
of  the  princely  families  of  Wales,  doubtless  had  some  effect  on  the 
progress  of  events.  There  were  so  many  castles  built  by  the  Normans 
and  their  followers  that  Wales  finally  became  known  as  "the  land  of 
castles." 

Harold,  the  English  king  who  fell  at  the  battle  of  Hastings,  was  the 
same  Harold  who  had  defeated  Gruffyd  ab  Llewel^^n,  as  we  have  seen, 
in  1063,  and  the  Welsh  were  probably,  in  g-eneral,  pleased  over  his  fall; 
however,  they  found  later  that  the  Normans  were  no  better  friends 
than  he. 

Prior  to  the  ''Norman  conquest"  Wales  had  remained  as  a  whole 
almost  intact,  and  subject  only,  to  the  authority  of  the  native  kings  and 
princes.  It  is  true  some  fragments  of  Mid- Wales  (Powys),  had  been 
wrested  away  by  the  English  or  Saxons,  but  in  1066  it  was  practically 
the  same  Wales,  territorially  and  politically,  that  Roderick  the  Great 
(Rhodri  Mawr)  ruled  over  in  844.  During  this  long  interval  there  were 
several  Welsh  king-s  and  princes  who  paid  personal  homage  to  the  Saxon 
or  English  Kings  and  acknowledged  their  political  superiority,  for 
defensive  purposes  during  the  Danish  incursions,  and  doubtless  for  other 
reasons,  growing  out  of  the  wars  between  the  rulers  of  England  and  the 
rulers  of  Wales;  but  at  no  time  did  these  foreign  kings  have  anything 
w^hatever  to  do  with  the  government  of  Wales,  or  with  its  affairs  as  a 
separate  and  independent  nation.  Its  independence  as  a  nation  had  in 
no  way  been  abridged,  prior  to  1066;  except  possibly  by  the  victory  of 
Harold  over  Gruffyd  in  1063,  and  almost  immediately  after  that  event 
Harold  handed  the  territory  and  government  over  to  the  native  Welsh 
princes  Bledyn  and  Rhiv/allon  ab  Cynfyn,  with  its  independence 
practically  unimpaired.     It  is  well  to  state  here  that  perhaps,  the  methods 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  29 

of  the  Normans  were  as  a  whole,  no  greater  factor  in  the  final  overthrow 
of  Welsh  independence  in  1282-1283,  than  the  internal  strife  between  the 
princely  families  of  Wales  and  their  following". 

Returning  to  the  internal  affairs  of  Wales  we  find  that  Bledyn  and 
Rhiwallon,  to  whom  Harold  had  delivered  the  possessions  of  Gruffyd 
ab  Llewelyn  in  1063,  combined  with  Eadric  the  Wild,  who  possessed 
lands  in  Herefordshire  and  Shropshire,  England,  and  refused  to  submit 
to  the  new  Norman  King  of  England,  "William  the  Conqueror."  The 
allies  laid  waste  the  English  lands  of  Eadric  in  1067,  although  they  did 
not  capture  the  town  of  Hereford  and  its  fortress,  which  was  garrisoned 
by  Normans.  Immediately  following  there  was  internal  war  in  Wales. 
Maredyd  and  Idwal  (or  Ithel),  sons  of  Gruffyd  ab  Llewelyn, assailed 
Bledyn  and  Rhiwallon.  They  met  at  Mechain  and  Idwal  and  Rhi- 
wallon fell  in  the  battle  and  Meredyd  fled  and  died  of  cold.  Bledyn 
survived  and  reigned  over  Powys  and  probably  the  most  of  Gwyned; 
but  in  some  way  he  seems  to  have  lost  Deheubarth,  as  Maredyd  ab 
Owain  ab  Edwin  was  the  ruler  there  at  this  time.  This  Maredyd 
was  attacked  in  1070  by  Caradog  ab  Gruffyd  ab  Rhyderch,  who  was  aided 
by  the  Normans,  and  was  defeated  and  slain  on  the  banks  of  the  Rymney. 

In  1071  and  1072  the  Normans  raided  Dyfed  and  Keredigion;  probably 
in  conjunction  with  Caradog  ab  Owain,  who  also  fought  a  battle  with 
Rhys  ab  Owain,  who  was  likely  his  brother,  in  1073;  and  this  Rhys  ab 
Owain  and  Rhyderch  ab  Caradog  maintained  themselves  in  Deheubarth. 

In  the  meantime  Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn  had  remained  in  possession  of 
Powys,  and  probably  of  a  considerable  part  of  Gwyned,  and  he  is 
regarded  by  the  chronicler  as  the  man  who,  after  Gruffyd  his  half  brother, 
"nobly  supported  the  whole  kingdom  of  the  Britons";  "the  gentlest  and 
most  merciful  of  kings,"  "a  defense  to  every  one."  His  reign  was 
terminated  in  1073,  as  he  was  killed  in  that  year  by  Rhys  ab  Owain, 
"through  the  deceit  of  evil  minded  chieftains  and  the  noblemen  of  Ystrad 
Tywi."  He  was  succeeded  in  Gwyned  by  acousin,  Trahaiarn  ab  Caradog 
and  Powys  evidently  fell  to  his  sons. 

Rhys  ab  Owain  and  Rhyderch  ab  Caradog,  of  Deheubarth,  put 
down  a  rising  under  Goronwy  and  Llewelyn  ab  Cadwgn,  in  a  battle  at 
Kamdwr,  in  1073;  and  Rhys,  after  the  murder  of  Rhyderch  in  1074,  de- 
feated them  again  in  1075.  But  in  1076  Trahaiarn  ab  Caradog  attacked 
Rhys  ab  Owain  and  decisively  defeated  him  in  the  battle  of  PwU  Gwdyc, 


30  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 


thus  aveng-ing  the  blood  of  Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn.  All  of  Rh3''s  family  fell 
in  this  battle,  but  he  escaped;  however,  before  the  end  of  the  year  he  was 
killed  bj'  Gruff^'d  ab  Caradog. 

After  the  fall  of  Rhys  ab  Owain  in  1076  his  kinsman,  (C  23)  Rhys 
ab  Tewdwr  (Tudor),  a  lineal  descendent  of  Rhodri  Mawr,  succeeded 
to  the  rule  of  Deheubarth,  and  for  about  fourteen  years,  was  the  leading 
chieftain  in  South  Wales,  and  was  the  last  one  who  can  really  be  re- 
garded as  the  sovereign  king  or  prince,  of  the  ancient  kingdom  of  Deheu- 
barth, (South  Wales). 

Returning  again  to  Gwjmed,  where  Trahaiarn  ab  Caradog  was 
ruler  for  the  time,  we  find  that  his  authority'  was  disputed.  Manj^  j'ears 
before,  (D  23)  Cynax,  the  son  of  Iago  and  grandson  or  Idwal,  who  came 
of  the  direct  line  of  Rhodri  Mawr,  had  taken  refuge  in  Ireland  and 
married  Raguell,  daughter  of  Auleod,  an  Irish  king.  Thej'  had  a 
son  (A  24)  GruffydabCynan,  born  about  1055.  This  son  GRUFFYD,on 
the  death  of  Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn,  made  a  descent  on  Mon,  in  1073,  and 
with  the  aid  of  his  Irish  kinsmen  effected  a  settlement  there.  Later  on 
Rhys  ab  Tewdwr,  of  Deheubarth,  joined  him,  and  with  reinforcements 
from  Ireland,  they  attacked  Trahaiarn  ab  Caradog  and  in  battle  at 
Mynyd  Carn,  in  1079,  Trahaiarn  the  King  of  Gw3-ned,  was  defeated  and 
slain.  Thus  once  more  we  have  two  princes,  lineally  descended  from 
Rhodri  Mawr  ruling  over  Gwjmed  and  Deheubarth,  and  the  sons  of 
Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn  ruled  in  Powys. 

For  a  number  of  3'ears  following  these  events  nothing  of  importance 
happened  in  Wales,  William  the  Conqueror  made  an  expedition  into 
Welsh  territory  with  an  army  in  1080  or  1081;  and  it  is  stated  by  some 
that  he  subdued  the  country,  but  as  no  apparent  change  occured  in  the 
rule  of  Rhys  ab  Tew^dwr,  or  of  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan,  the  campaign 
certainly  had  no  practical  results;  however,  he  and  his  army  penetrated 
as  far  as  St.  Davids.  William  the  Conqueror  died  in  1087  and  during 
his  reign  of  twenty-one  years,  no  encroachment  had  been  permanently 
made  on  Welsh  territory,  but  he  made  some  dispositions  which  later  had 
much  effect  on  Welsh  affairs.  He  founded  the  palatine  earldoms  of 
Chester  and  Shrewsbury'  and  made  Worcester,  Hereford  and  Gloucester, 
important  military  stations.  A  castle  had  been  built  at  Rhuddlan  bj'  the 
Normans,  where  the  Welsh  had  formerly  had  a  seat  of  government,  and 
also  another  was  built  at  Montgomery,  by  (E2)  Roger  de  Montgomery, 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  31 


for  whom  it  was  named.  Roger  de  Montgomery  also  built  the  castle 
at  Shrewsbury  and  was  the  first  Earl  of  that  name.  The  Castle  at 
Cardiff  was  either  completed,  or  in  course  of  erection,  when  William 
died. 

As  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  current  maps,  the  Welsh  were  prac- 
tically hemmed  in  by  these  several  Norman  strongholds,  just  named. 

William  Rufus  succeeded  William  the  Conqueror  on  the  throne  of  En- 
gland, and  in  1088  there  was  a  rebellion  among  the  Normans  by  which  the 
Welsh  rulers  profited  to  some  extent.  Robert  of  Rhuddlan  and  Hugh  of 
Chester  were  opposed  to  each  other  in  this  contest,  and  Gruffyd  ab 
Cynan,  ruler  in  Gwyned  siezed  the  opportunity  to  invade  Robert's  ter- 
ritory. He  advanced  to  Rhuddlan  with  his  Irish  allies,  and  slew  many 
men  and  carried  off  many  captives.  Robert  however  attempted  to  re- 
taliate and  went  to  a  castle  at  the  mouth  of  the  Conway,  which  had  been 
erected  by  the  Normans  on  the  site  of  an  old  British  stronghold,  supposed 
to  have  been  the  seat  of  Maelgwn.  Gruffyd  entered  the  Conway  with 
three  ships  and  raided  the  adjacent  territory,  carrying  prisioners  and 
cattle  to  his  vessels.  Robert  sallied  forth  with  his  men  and  finally  at- 
tended by  only  one  knight,  rushed  to  the  shore,  where  he  was  surrounded 
and  shot  down  by  arrows  and  darts.  His  head  was  cut  off  and  placed 
on  the  mast  of  one  of  the  ships,  but  Gruffyd  ordered  it  down  and  thrown 
into  the  sea,  and  then  sailed  away  with  his  booty. 

About  the  time  the  above  events  were  taking  place,  three  sons  of 
Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn,  from  Powys:  Madog,  Cadwgan  and  Rhirid,  ex- 
pelled Rhys  ab  Tewdwr  from  Deheubarth.  Rhys  escaped  to  Ireland, 
but  almost  immediately  returned  with  a  fleet  "of  the  Gwydyl"  and  gave 
battle  to  the  sons  of  Bledyn  at  Lych  Crei,  in  the  same  year  (1088);  Madog 
and  Rhirid  w^ere  killed,  but  Cadwgan  escaped.  Rhys  was  evidently 
wealthy,  as  the  gifts  to  his  Irish  mercenaries  were  so  large  as  to  attract 
special  attention.  Although  his  defeat  of  the  sons  of  Bledyn  was  decisive, 
he  was  soon  engaged  in  other  conflicts.  It  seems  he  attacked  and  de- 
feated Llewelyn  and  Eineon,  princes  of  Dyfed,  at  Landydoch;  and  then 
Eineon  formed  an  alliance  with  lestyn,  Lord  of  Morgannwg  and  they, 
together  with  an  army  of  Normans,  whose  aid  they  had  enlisted,  attacked 
Rhys  ab  Tewdwr  and  in  a  terrible  battle,  somewhere  near  the  borders 
of  Brecknockshire,  in  1093,  he  was  defeated  and  slain  and  as  stated  by 
the  chronicler  thus,  "decaied  the  Kingdom  of  South  Wales."     The  Brut 


32  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

also  saj'^s,  with  his  death  the  King-dom  of  the  Britons  fell.  He  was 
certainly  the  last  Welsh  prince  to  rule  over  South  Wales  as  a  whole. 

The  conquest  by  the  Normans  in  South  Wales  and  also  in  other  Welsh 
territory  continued,  Cardiff  Castle  was  completed  and  served  as  a  strong- 
hold for  them.  Brecheiniog  was  invaded  by  Bernard  de  Neufmarch,  who 
built  a  castle  at  Aberhondu  (Brecon),  in  1093.  Robert  Fitz-Hamon  con- 
quered Glamorgan,  and  a  force  of  Normans  in  1093-1094,  under  (E  3) 
Arxulf  de  Montgomery,  son  of  Roger  de  Montgomery,  invaded 
Dyfed  and  Keredigion  and  built  a  castle  at  Pembroke  and  confided  the 
defense  of  it  to  (3)  Gerald  de  Windsor.  During  these  years  just  noted, 
Earl  Hugh  of  Chester  had  retained  the  Norman  hold  on  Rhuddlan  and 
Deganwy,  and  the  Earl  of  Shrewsbury,  Roger  de  Montgomery,  was 
busily  engaged  in  extending  Norman  power  over  Powys. 

In  Gwj'ned,  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  was  during  these  times  the  recog- 
nized ruler,  although  nothing  is  heard  of  his  deeds  for  several  years  after 
1088,  when,  as  will  be  recalled,  he  slew  Robert  of  Rhuddlan  on  the  Con- 
way; however  he  was  doubtless  allied  with  Cadwgan  ab  Bledyn,  in  the 
years  1094-1099,  in  the  efforts  made  to  throw  off  the  Norman  yoke,  although 
he  is  not  specifically  mentioned  for  some  time  after  the  beginning  of  the 
campaign. 

The  year  1094  saw  the  beginning  of  a  general  uprising  of  the  Welsh, 
in  an  attempt  to  push  the  Normans  back,  and  Cadwgan  ab  Bledyn,  who 
as  will  be  remembered,  escaped,  while  his  brothers  were  defeated  and 
killed  in  a  battle  with,  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr  in  1088,  was  chosen  as  chief 
leader  by  the  elders;  as  he  was  son  of  Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn  and  nephew 
of  Gruffyd  ab  Llewelyn  ab  Seisyllt. 

The  Welsh  allies  began  the  movement  by  an  attack  on  the  newly- 
made  castles  of  the  Normans  in  Gwyned  and  Mon,  which  resulted  in 
their  destruction  or  capture.  The  Normans  made  a  counter  expedition 
into  Gwyned,  but  were  defeated  in  the  woods  of  Yspwys;  and  Cadwgan 
and  his  troops  took  the  offensive  and  ravaged  Chester,  Shropshire  and 
Herefordshire,  burning  towns,  slaying  many  men  and  earring  off 
much  boot3\  Having  by  these  events  freed  Gwyned,  the  Welsh  chieftains 
marched  south  into  Keredigion  and  Dyfed.  They  demolished  all  the 
Norman  fortresses  except  two.  Pembroke  held  out  under  Gerald  de 
Windsor  and  William,  son  of  Baldwin  succeeded  in  retaining  Rhyd  y 
Gors. 


Castle  Dinas  Bran,     (Also  called  Castle  of  Yale.) 
Near  Llangollen,  North  Wales.    View  taken  from  the  western  end  of  the  ruins,  look- 
ing east  (1907).     Dimensions  of  ruins  about  140x300  feet.     Walls  6  feet  thick.     Defended 
by  a  trench  cut  in  the  solid  rock. 

This  picturesque  ruin  stands  on  a  conoid  hill  which  rises  abruptly  from  the  surround- 
ing country,  to  a  height  of  1000  feet  above  the  river  Dee.  An  earlier  structure  on  the  site 
is  said  to  have  been  destroyed  by  fire  in  the  tenth  century.  The  castle  represented  by 
the  present  ruins  was  quite  likely  built  by  Griffith  ap  Madoc  about  1150.  In  any  event  he 
lived  there,  and  so  also  did  hisson  Madoc  ap  Griffith,  the  founder  of  Valle  Crucis  Abbey 
and  his  grandson  Griffith  ap  Madoc.  It  was  therefore  the  abiding  place  of  the  princes  of 
Powys  Fadog  and  the  lords  of  Bromfield  and  Yale.  In  12.s2it  passed  into  the  hands  of  Earl 
Warren  Mortimer,  after  the  mysterious  death  of  young  Llewelyn  ap  Madoc,  the  rightful 
heir.  It  was  in  ruins  as  long  ago  as  the  time  of  Henry  VIII.  Some  authorities  state 
that  it  was  built  by  Owain  Gwyned,  Prince  of  North  Wales  in  1148;  but  anyway  he  did 
not  live  there  and  the  heiritage  came  through  another  line,  to  the  princes  of  Powys 
Fadog  and  their  descendants,  the  lords  of  Bromffeld  and  Yale:  however  one  of  the  last 
Welsh  lords  of  Bromfield  and  Yale,  Griffith  ap  Madoc  who  died  in  1270,  was  Owain 
Gwyned's  grandson. 


Castle  Dinas  Bran.      (Ruins  of  tower  and  south  side.) 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  33 

It  is  said  that  Cadwgan  brought  all  the  people  and  all  the  cattle 
out  of  Dyfed,  leaving-  Dyfed  and  Keredigion  a  desert. 

For  the  present  the  work  of  the  Normans  seemed  to  have  been  undone; 
they  had  practically  been  cleared  out  of  Wales.  However  in  1095  the 
Normans  of  Morgannwg  made  a  fresh  advance  to  the  West  and  overran 
Gower,  Kidweli  and  Ystrad  Towi,  and  built  several  strong  castles  at 
Swansea,  Kidweli,  Longhor  and  Llanrhidian. 

While  the  Normans  were  making  the  advances  just  named  in  the 
South,  the  Cymry  of  Powys,  with  probably  the  men  of  Gwyned,  were  fight- 
ing in  the  valley  of  the  Severn,  in  England;  where  they  took  the  impor- 
tant Norman  castle  of  Tre  Faldwin  and  killed  the  garrison.  This  latter 
event  aroused  King  William  Rufus,  and  he  personally  commanded  an  ex- 
pedition into  Wales,  about  the  end  of  the  year  1095;  but  the  Welsh 
avoided  a  pitched  battle  with  this  large  force  and  the  Normans  returned 
to  England  without  having  accomplished  anything. 

The  Cymry  were  encouraged  by  the  failure  of  the  Norman  King  and 
in  1096  "threw  off  the  Norman  yoke"  in  Brecheiniog,  Gwent,  and  Gwen- 
11  wg.  They  also  took  possession  of  the  castle  of  Rhyd  y  Gors,  which  the 
garrison  had  deserted  and  which  formerly  had  successfully  resisted  their 
efforts,  and  following  this  success,  Uchtrud  ab  Edwin  and  Howel  ab 
Goronwy,  with  many  chieftains  of  the  cenedl  of  Cadwgan,  marched 
against  Pembroke,  the  only  great  castle  in  the  south  which  had  with- 
stood their  previous  attacks,  and  which  as  before,  was  in  command  of 
Gerald  de  Windsor.  They  failed  again  to  take  this  castle,  but  despoiled 
and  ravaged  the  territory,  taking  away  its  cattle  and  immense  booty. 

While  these  events  were  taking  place  in  the  South  there  was  also 
fighting  in  the  North,  and  in  the  meantime  the  Normans  sent  an  army 
into  Gwent;  but  like  the  forces  of  William  Rufus,  it  returned  empty- 
handed,  and  was  also  cut  off  and  defeated  at  Kelli  Carnant.  Soon 
afterwards  a  larger  force  was  raised  by  the  Normans,  with  the  view  of 
crushing  the  whole  of  the  Welsh  territory;  but  it  met  defeat  also  at 
Aberllech,  by  the  sons  of  Idnerth  ab  Cadwgan. 

So  far  the  success  of  the  Cymry,  in  pushing  the  Normans  back  and 
in  regaining  their  territory,  had  been  singularly  great;  they  had  almost 
entirely  retrieved  and  annulled  the  Norman  conquests  begun  by  William 
the  Conqueror,  and  had  assumed  control  of  about  all  the  land  which  had 
been  theirs  before  the  Norman  invasion.     However,  great  reverses  were 


34  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

soon  to  come,  and  the  first  Norman  blow  g-iven  to  the  new  C3^mric  power 
which  had  been  raised  over  "Wales  under  the  leadership  of  Cadwgan  ab 
Bledyn,  was  by  Gerald  de  Windsor,  who  took  the  offensive  early  in 
1097  and  ravag^ed  the  land  of  Dyfed,  up  to  the  boundaries  of  the   church 
of  St  David. 

Following-  this  event,  King-  William  Rufus  determined  to  go  to  the 
aid  of  his  lords  in  the  west,  and  gathering  an  army  soon  after  Easter, 
1097,  he  entered  Wales.  Led  by  native  guides,  he  penetrated  far  into  the 
country,  but  with  no  practical  results.  He  returned  to  England;  but  be- 
fore mid-summer  of  the  same  year  he  again  set  forth  with  an  army  of  cav- 
alry and  foot  soldiers  and  for  the  third  time,  proceeded  far  into  Wales, 
where  he  remained  for  some  w^eeks,  returning,  however,  to  England  some 
time  in  August  without  accomplishing  an3^thing;  losing,  nevertheless,  in 
the  meantime  many  men  and  horses,  also  equipment,  His  three  cam- 
paigns into  Wales  had  been  failures;  he  had  not  yet  learned  what  experi- 
ence had  taught  Harold  in  1063:  that  cavalr}^  especially  knights  in  ar- 
mour, could  do  nothing  against  an  enemy,  lightly  armed  and  on  foot  and 
who  knew  every  inch  of  the  country.  The  Normans,  however,  learned  by 
these  events,  the  lesson,  which  more  than  all  others,  had  definite  results 
in  the  final  undoing  of  Welsh  independence;  and  this  was  that  castle- 
building  could  subdue  territorj^  w^hich  to  their  armies  had  seemed  im- 
pregnable. 

Returning  to  the  immediate  events  of  the  times,  it  seems  that  while 
King  William  Rufus  himself  had  been  unsuccessful  with  his  armies, 
some  of  his  earls  and  lords,  following  the  success  of  Gerald  de  Windsor, 
in  the  early  part  of  1097,  which  has  been  noted,  made  campaigns  into 
Wales,  which  had  far  reaching  and  definite  effects;  and  it  seems  too, 
that  in  the  meantime,  the  internal  strife  and  jealousies  between  the  prince- 
ly families,  which  had  so  many  times  before  worked  havoc  with  Welsh 
affairs,  had  been  revived,  and  this  combination  brought  a  quick  down- 
fall of  the  results  attained  by  the  recent  Welsh  achievements. 

The  great  border  earls,  Hugh  the  Fat,  of  Chester,  and  Hugh  the 
Proud  of  Shrewsbury,  (the  eldest  son  and  successor  of  Roger  de  Mont- 
gomery), in  1098,  made  an  expedition  into  Mon;  Cadwgan  ab  Bledyn 
and  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan,  retreated  into  the  strongest  places  and  en- 
listed a  fleet  of  Vikings  in  their  service;  but  their  defense  was  of  no 
avail,  and  finally,  for  fear  of  their  own  men,  they  fled  to  Ireland.     The 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  35 

earls  and  their  followers  treated  the  inhabitants  of  Mon  with  extreme 
cruelty;  but  Hugh  the  Proud  was  killed  during  this  conquest  by  Magnus, 
a  Prince  or  King  of  Norway. 

In  South  Wales  the  Normans  were  equally  successful,  and  with  the 
slaying  of  Llewelyn,  one  of  the  sons  of  Cadwgan,  in  1099,  they  achieved 
complete  victory. 

In  1099  Cadwgan  and  Gruffyd  returned  from  Ireland.  The  former 
made  peace  with  the  Normans  and  received  Keredigion  and  part  of 
Powys.  Gruffyd  obtained  possession  of  Mon,  but  whether  by  force  or 
not  is  uncertain;  at  any  rate  he  did  not  receive  it  by  grant  from  the  Nor- 
man King.  Affairs  remained  in  this  position  through  the  year  1100, 
during  which  time  William  Rufus  was  killed  and  Henry  I.  became  King 
of  England. 

In  1101  the  revolt  of  Robert  de  Belleme  and  his  brother  Arnulf  de 
Montgomery  (sons  of  Roger  de  Montgomery)  against  King  Henry  !• 
of  England,  had  an  important  effect  on  the  aft'airs  of  Wales.  Robert 
de  Belleme  had  become  Earl  of  Shrewsbury,  after  his  brother  Hugh 
was  killed  by  Magnus  and  he  and  Arnulf,  espoused  the  cause  of  Robert, 
Duke  of  Normandy,  who  sought  to  oust  Henry  I.  from  the  English  throne. 

Robert  and  Arnulf  asked  for  the  assistance  of  Cadwgan  ab  Bledyn 
and  his  brothers  lorwerth  and  (A  24)  Maredyd,  whom  they  regarded  as 
their  vassals;  and  it  seems  in  fact  thejM hen  were,  as  Cadwgan  was  at 
this  time,  and  since  his  return  from  Ireland,  a  feudal  tenant  of  the  Earl 
of  Shrewsbury. 

The  Welsh  princes  repaired  to  Shrewsbury,  where  they  were  re- 
ceived "magnificently  and  honorabl}',"  and  the  earls  made  great  prom- 
ises of  Welsh  liberty.  Cadwgan  then  called  together,  the  host  of  the  ter- 
ritories of  the  house  of  Bledyn,  and  together  with  the  earls,  achieved 
temporarj^  successes.  Henry  I.  however  speedily  laid  siege  to  Bridge- 
narth,  the  principal  castle  of  Robert,  and  at  the  same  time,  opened  nego- 
tiations with  lorwerth,  with  the  view  of  detaching  the  Welsh  allies  from 
the  Norman  Earls.  He  promised  lorwerth,  during  his  own  life  (Henry's) 
Powys,  Ceredigion,  half  of  Dyfed,  YstradTowi,  Cidweli  and  Gower;  if 
he  would  turn  the  Welsh  against  the  earls.  lorwerth  consented,  without 
the  know  ledge  of  his  brothers,  and  sent  orders  to  the  Welsh  forces  to  turn 
against  Robert,  which  they  did,  and  thoroughly  despoiled  the  territory 
of  the  earls,  collecting  immense  booty.     It  seems  that  in  the  meantime 


36  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Arnulf  had  gone  to  Ireland  for  aid;  but  before  the  end  of  the  year, 
Robert  was  forced  to  submit,  and  he  was  allowed  to  cross  over  to  Nor- 
mandy. Arxulf  remained  in  Ireland,  where  he  had  been  negotiating- 
with  King  Muircertach  for  reinforcements. 

The  Welsh  princes  quarreled  after  these  events  and  lorwerth  seized 
and  imprisioned  Maredyd,  but  agreed  to  give  Cad wgan  part  of  the  lands 
promised  to  him  by  Henry  I.  The  latter,  however,  refused  to  keep  his 
bargain  and  imprisoned  lorwerth  on  a  charge  of  treason,  where  he  re- 
mained until  1109.  Pembroke  was  given  to  one  Saer,  from  whom  it 
passed  in  1104,  to  Gerald  de  Windsor,  who  had  held  it  for  some  years 
before  for  the  king. 

The  Norman  lords,  in  fact,  retook  or  retained  the  fortresses  which 
they  had  built,  and  Deheubarth  and  Pow3^s  not  actually  in  Norman 
hands,  was  divided  bj'^  Henry,  between  Howel  ab  Goronwy,  (a  grandson 
of  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr),  and  the  descendents  of  Bledyn.  The  former  re- 
ceived Ystrad  Towi,  Cidweli  and  Gower,  as  fiefs  from  the  king,  and 
Cadwgan  and  other  members  of  the  cenedl  of  bledyn,  were  confirmed  in 
the  possession  of  Ceredigion  and  parts  of  Powys,  on  terms  of  vassalage. 
In  the  North,  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  still  held  Mon  and  parts  of  Gwyned 
on  the  mainland,  independently  of  Henry. 

As  will  be  noted  the  Welsh  princely  families  were  at  this  time,  with 
the  exception  of  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan,  in  the  position  of  tenants  (in  capiti) 
of  Henr3^  I. 

Howel  ab  Goronwy  did  not  long  enjoy  his  possessions;  he  was  at 
feud  with  the  house  of  Bledyn,  and  was  soon  in  trouble  with  Richard 
son  of  Baldwin,  over  Rhyd  y  Gors  castle,  which  Howel  claimed.  He 
was  expelled  from  his  lands,  but  soon  returned  and  slew  many  of  the 
Normans;  however  through  conspirac\''  in  1105,  he  was  surrounded  while 
•asleep  in  the  house  of  a  supposed  friend;  his  sword  and  spear  were 
taken  awaj^  before  he  awoke  and  his  men  at  arms  deserted.  He  was 
captured  and  beheaded  and  his  possessions  were  divided  among  several 
Normans  and  Welshmen. 

Cadwgan  in  1108  was  still  in  undisturbed  possession  of  Ceredigion 
and  parts  of  Powys,  which  he  had  received  from  Henry  I.,  but  his  declin- 
ing years  were  clouded  in  misfortune  by  the  lawless  acts  of  his  son, 
Owain  ab  Cadwgan;  whose  first  recorded  feat  was  the  sla^'ing  of  the 
sons  of  Trahaiarn  ab  Caradog.     His  next  adventure  was  an  attack  on

HISTORY  OF  WALES  37 

Pembroke  castle  and  the  abduction  of  Nest  (or  Nesta)  the  wife  of  Ger- 
ald DE  Windsor.  Nest  was  daug-hter  of  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr,  Prince  of 
South  Wales,  and  before  her  marriag-e  to  Gerald,  had  been  mistress  of 
Henrj^  I.,  King-  of  England.  She  was  said  to  be  the  most  beautiful  woman 
of  her  time,  and  was  called  the,  "Helen  of  Wales."  The  narrative  of 
the  event  states  that  Gerald  de  Windsor  was  still  holding  Pembroke 
in  1107,  and  he  had  deposited  there,  "all  his  riches,  with  his  wife  and 
heirs  and  all  dear  to  him,  and  he  fortified  it  with  a  ditch  and  a  wall 
and  a  gateway  with  a  lock  to  it. ' '  The  next  Christmas  time  Cadwgan 
made  a  feast  in  honor  of  God,  at  which  Owain  was  present.  The  con- 
versation turned  upon  the  charms  of  Nest,  and  Owain,  fired  by  the  ac- 
counts of  her  beauty,  paid  a  visit  to  Pembroke,  and  being  received  as 
her  kinsman — as  in  fact  he  was — made  the  acquaintance  of  the  lady. 
Soon  afterwards,  with  a  small  band,  he  made  a  raid  on  the  castle,  set 
fire  to  the  houses  near  it  and  forced  an  entrance.  Gerald  escaped, 
through  the  connivance  of  his  wife,  but  Owain  carried  away  Nest,  as 
well  as  the  children,  and  returned  with  them  to  his  own  land,  taking 
also  booty  of  the  more  usual  kind. 

Cadwgan,  Owain's  father,  was  greatly  disturbed  at  such  an  outrage, 
against  a  man  so  high  in  the  king's  favor,  and  tried  to  induce  his  son  to 
return  to  the  great  steward,  his  wife  and  the  spoils,  but  in  vain.  The 
children  were  however  sent  back,  but  Nest  herself  was  for  the  time  de- 
tained. 

Gerald  de  Windsor  had  his  revenge  sometime  later;  however  in 
the  meantime,  Richard,  the  King's  steward  at  Shrewsbury,  persuaded 
Ithel  and  Madog,  sons  of  Rhirid  ab  Bledyn.  to  capture  Owain,  or  expel 
both  him  and  Cadwgan.  Owain  fled  to  Ireland,  and  Cadwgan  secretly 
went  to  a  retreat  in  Powys,  owned  by  his  wife;  while  Ithel  and  Madog 
seized  that  part  of  Powys  which  Cadwgan  had  received  from  the  king. 
Cadwgan  soon  made  peace  with  the  king  and  was  allowed  to  return  to 
Ceredigion,  by  promising  to  have  nothing  to  do  with  Owain. 

Owain  returned  to  Powys  and  was  joined  by  Madog  ab  Rhirid,  who 
had  quarreled  with  the  Normans  and  together,  with  armed  forces,  they 
roamed  the  country,  burning  and  robbing  wherever  they  could. 

lorwerth  ab  Bledyn  who  had  been  imprisoned  by  the  king  in  1102, 
was  now  (1109)  released,  and  he  returned  to  his  lands  in  Powys,  where 
in  the   meantime    Owain    and   Madog   had  made  their  headquarters. 


38  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

lorwerth  tried  to  have  them  desist  from  their  lawless  course, but  they 
scorned  his  request.  The}'^  continued  their  depredations  until  the  king" 
took  Cadwgan's  lands  and  gave  them  to  Gilbert,  founder  of  the  house  of 
Clare,  who  built  two  castles  in  the  region,  and  the  king  pensioned  Cad- 
wgan. 

Owain  again  retreated  to  Ireland,  where  Madog  already  was. 
Madog  soon  returned  to  Wales  and  to  lorwerth's  lands.  The  latter 
treated  him  with  scorn  and  he  with  Llewelyn  ab  Trahaiarn  plotted  to 
kill  lorwerth,  which  they  did  in  1110,  with  the  aid  of.  Llewelyn's  men, 
slaying  him  with  their  spears  after  a  brave  defense. 

After  lorwerth's  death  the  king  gave  Powys  to  Cadwgan;  but  he 
was  also  killed  by  Madog  and  his  men. 

Maredyd  AB  Bledyn,  Cadwgan's  brother,  held  his  land  until  Owain, 
Cadwgan's  son,  should  return  from  Ireland. 

Owain  returned  in  1110,  and  both  he  and  Madog  interviewed  Henry, 
the  King,  and  received  grants  of  land,  on  giving  pledges  and  promising 
"much money";  but  the  friendship  between  these  princes  had  ceased, 
owing  to  the  murder  of  Cadwgan  by  Madog.  In  1112  Madog  was  taken 
prisoner  by  Maredyd  ab  Bledyx,  who  turned  him  over  to  Owain  and 
he  put  out  his  eyes,  but  spared  his  life,  and  Maredyd  and  Owain  divided 
his  lands  between  theinselves. 

Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  was,  during  these  events  ruling  in  Gwyned  and 
in  1114,  he  was  accused  by  the  Normans  of  various  misdeeds,  and  about 
the  same  time  Owain  ab  Cadwgan,  was  also  accused  of  robberies.  The 
King  of  England  made  an  expedition  into  Wales.  Maredyd  ab  Bledyn 
submitted  at  once,  and  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  made  peace  by  paying  a 
large  tribute;  Owain  ab  Cadwgan  also  made  terms  with  the  king,  and 
accompanied  him  in  an  honorable  capacity  on  an  expedition  into  Nor- 
mandj'. 

The  principality  of  Powys  was  now  practically  at  an  end,  and  about 
all  of  Cymru,  except  Gwyned,  was  divided  between  the  Norman  and 
Welsh  lords,  who  came  to  be  called  "Lords-Marchers." 

And  now  comes  the  end  of  Owain  ab  Cadwgan's  stormy  career.  It 
seems  that  Rhys  ab  TEWDWR,the  last  great  Prince  of  South  Wales,  who 
fell  in  1093,  had  left  a  young  son,  (C  24)  Gruffyd  ab  Rhys,  who  had  been 
taken  for  safety  to  Ireland.  He  returned  to  Wales  in  1112.  He  remained 
quiet  until  1114,  when,  having  learned  that  the  English  King  Henry  had 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  39 

desig-ns  on  his  life,  he  took  refug-e  with  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  in  Gwj'ned. 
It  is  evident  that  the  latent  hopes  of  the  Welsh  people  were  now  centered 
in  this  young-  prince,  and  for  this  reason,  Henry  desired  to  capture  him. 
He  is  described  in  the  "Brut"  as  "thelig-ht  and  strength  and  g-entleness 
of  the  men  of  South  Wales."  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  promised,  on  the  king's 
demand,  to  deliver  him  up;  but  Gruffyd  ab  Rhys,  hearing  of  this,  fled 
south  and  collected  a  force  in  Ystrad  Towi,  and  in  1116  was  raiding  in 
various  directions  in  South  Wales. 

Owain  ab  Cadwgan,  who  was  with  the  king,  was  commissioned,  to- 
gether with  Ly warch  ab  Trahaiarn,  to  capture  youngf  Grufl:'yd  ab  Rhj's. 
They  promptly  collected  an  army  and  proceeded  to  Ystrad  Towi,  harry- 
ing the  country;  the  people  fleeing  before  them,  to  Carmarthen.  At  this 
time  also  Gerald  de  Windsor  was  marching  with  a  force  of  Flemings, 
from  Rhos,  in  Dyfed,  towards  Carmarthen  ostensibly,  also,  with  the  in- 
tention of  putting  down  Gruffyd  for  the  king,  inasmuch  as  he  was  a 
Norman  lord  in  the  service  of  the  king. 

The  people  complained  to  Gerald  about  Owain,  and  when  the  two 
forces  met,  Gerald  set  his  Flemings  upon  O wain's  force.  Owain  met 
the  assault  bravely,  but  fell  at  the  first  discharge  of  arrows  and  was 
promptly  dispatched. 

While  Gerald  and  Owain  were  both  in  the  service  of  the  king,  it 
will  be  recalled  that  Owain,  years  before,  had  abducted  Gerald's  wife. 
Nest,  and  perhaps  this  outrage  was  the  incentive  for  Gerald's  attack. 
Furthermore  Gruffyd  ab  Rhys,  whom  they  were  supposed  to  be  trying 
tocapture,  was  Nest's  brother  and  Gerald's  brother-in-law;  so  it  seems 
to  me  very  likely,  that  while  not  openly  acting  in  defiance  of  the  king's 
orders,  Gerald  was  really  marching  to  intercept  Owain,  in  aid  of 
Gruffyd,  and  to  avenge  his  own  wrongs  at  the  same  time. 

For  some  years  longer  Maredyd  ab  Bledyn  and  the  remaining  sons 
of  Cadwgan  ab  Bled yn,  upheld  the  claimsof  their  cenedl,  to  the  sovereignty 
of  so  much  of  Powys  as  was  not  in  the  hands  of  the  Norman — English 
lords,  and  in  1121  they  rose  again  against  the  foreigners,  Maredyd 
and  his  friends,  appealed  to  Grufeyd  ab  CyNAN,  Prince  of  Gwyned, 
for  help;  but  he  prudently  refused  to  join  them  against  King  Henry, 
who  entered  Wales  with  an  "immense  and  cruel"  army.  There  was 
at  least  one  engagement,  during  which  King  Henry  was  struck  on  the 
breast-plate  with  an  arrow,  which  glanced  off  and  did  not  wound  him; 


40  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

but  he  became  greatly  disconcerted  and  behaved  with  cowardice  and  en- 
tered into  negotiations,  which  led  to  peace,  and  which,  it  seems,  involved 
the  submission  to  Henry's  sovereignty,  as  before. 

Mared\td  ab  Bledyn  died  in  1129  or  1130  and  the  "Brut"  describes 
him  as  the  "ornament,  and  safetj',  and  defence  of  all  Powys."  The  ruin 
of  the  house  of  Bledyn  was  now  complete,  so  far  as  sovereignty  was 
concerned,  and  the  possessions  of  the  princely  families  in  Powys  and 
South  Wales  had  dwindled  to  small  areas.  In  Gwyned  (North  Wales) 
however,  Gruffyd  ab  Cynan  was  in  authority,  as  an  independent  sov- 
ereign, with  the  sole  exception  of  acknowledging,  personally,  the  superi- 
ority^ of  the  King  of  England;  which  did  not  carry  with  it  any  jurisdic- 
tion of  the  English  royal  court  over  his  territory. 

Gruffyd  ab  Cynan,  Prince  or  King  of  North  Wales  died,  in  1137 
at  the  age  of  82,  and  was  interred  on  the  South  side  of  the  altar,  in  Bangor 
Cathedral,  having  survived  Henry  I.  of  England  by  two  years.  Gruffyd 
had  assumed  the  monastic  habit  before  his  death.  His  long,  prudent 
and  wise  reign,  had  built  up  the  strength  and  importance  of  his  king- 
dom during  a  very  difficult  period,  and  made  North  Wales  the  center  of 
Welsh  national  life,  and  the  eagerly  sought  refuge,  of  many  Welshmen 
dispossessed  elsewhere  by  the  Normans.  North  Wales  continued  as  an 
independent  nation  for  145  years  after  the  death  of  Gruffyd  ab*  Cynan. 
His  ensign  was,  "gu,  three  lions,  passant,  in  pale,  arg.,  armed  az. " 

Gruffyd  left  several  sons.  His  son  Owain  (usually  called  (D  25) 
Owain  Gwyned)  succeeded  to  the  principality,  and  his  brothers  doubt- 
less received  shares  under  his  sovereignty.  Owain  and  his  brother  Cad- 
waladr,  had,  before  their  father's  death,  made  some  expeditions  into  the 
territories  of  the  lords-marchers,  and  had  captured  and  retained  for  a 
time,  some  of  the  fortresses  built  by  the  invaders;  and  in  the  year  of 
Owain 's  succession,  they  again  marched  to  the  south  and  destro3^ed  sev- 
eral castles. 

During  King  Stephen's  reign  of  17  years  in  England,  he  left  Wales 
much  to  itself  and  Owain  materially  added  to  the  resources  of  his  country 
and  re-occupied  several  districts,  which  the  Welsh  had  lost  in  former 
years.  In  the  meantime  however,  he  and  Cadwaladr  quarreld  and  the 
latter  fled  to  England.  Also  during  these  years  (C  25)  Rhys  ab  Gruffyd, 
a  son  of  Gruff\td  ab  Rhys,  who  was  son  of  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr,  had  won 
several  comparatively  important  engagements  and  successes  in  the  south. 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  41 

Henry  II.  succeeded  Stephen  on  the  Eng-Jish  throne,  and  in  1157  he 
invaded  North  Wales;  but  was  met  and  defeated  by  Owain.  One  of  the 
king-'s  two  forces,  personally  commanded  by  the  king-,  was  defeated  in 
the  woods  by  Owain's  two  sons,  Davyd  and  Cynan,  and  escaped  with 
difficulty,  The  king-  then  g-athered  his  forces  together  and  went  to  Rhudd- 
lan;  but  was  harrassed  day  and  night  by  Owain,  with  the  assistance  of 
(A  25)  Madog  ab  Maredyd,  the  chief  Welsh  baron  of  Powys;  their  forces 
being-  encamped  at  Lwyn  Pina. 

Henry's  army  was  supported  by  a  fleet,  which  sailed  along  the  coast 
and  eff'ected  a  landing-  in  Mon;  but  after  pillag^ing-  some  churches,  this 
force  was  defeated  with  heavy  slaughter  by  the  men  of  the  island. 

Henry's  attempt  was  a  failure,  but  nevertheless  peace  was  made, 
and  Owain  restored  his  brother  Cadwaladr  to  his  lands  and  did  hom- 
age to  Henry. 

About  this  time,  peace  was  made  also,  between  Rhys  ab  Gruffyd 
and  Henry.  Rhys  had  been  wag-ing  a  sporadic  warfare  against  the 
Norman  lords,  from  the  recesses  of  Ystrad  Towi;  Henry  asked  him  to 
come  to  court.  He  went,  and  Henry  made  peace,  by  agreeing  to  give 
him  Cantref  Mawr  and  other  lands  adjoining. 

Peace  continued  until  in  1164,  and  then  Rhys  began  to  raid  the  lands 
of  the  Normans  again,  because  Henry  had  not  fully  kept  his  promise. 
He  dismantled  and  burnt  the  castle  at  Aber  Rheidol  and  overran  Kered- 
igion  a  second  time.  Now  Owain  Gwyned  joined  him  at  the  head  of  the 
other  Welsh  barons,  and  Henry  II.  with  a  large  force,  marched  to 
Owestry;  while  the  Welsh  hosts  under  Owain  Gwyned,  his  brother  Cad- 
waladr and  Owain  Cyfeiliog,  and  other  lords  of  Powys,  encamped  at 
Corwen.  The  king  hesitated  to  attack,  and  finally  moved  into  the  wood 
of  Ceiriog  and  thence  penetrated  to  near  the  Berwyn  range;  but  his 
supplies  failing  and  the  weather  being  bad,  he  was  compelled  to  retreat 
to  Chester  and  abandon  the  expedition.  He  however  cruelly  blinded 
some  Welsh  hostages  whom  he  held. 

Later  in  the  year  Henry  left  England  and  was  absent  about  six 
years,  during  which  time  there  were  the  usual  disputes  and  quarrels 
among  the  Welsh,  but  no  warfare  of  consequence.  The  most  serious 
quarrel  was  in  1167,  between  Owain  Gwyned  and  Rhys  ab  Gruffyd 
on  one  side  and  Owain  Cyfeiliog  on  the  other,  in  which  after  some  fighting, 
the  latter,  with  Norman  aid,  came  off  the  better.     However  during  the 


42  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

year  Owain  and  Rhys  took  and  destro3'ed  the  castles  at  Rhuddlan  and 
Prestatyn. 

Nothing-  retarded  the  growing-  power  of  Gwyned,  until  the  death  of 
Owain  Gwyned  in  1169;  after  which  his  sons  quarreled.  Owain's  later 
years  were  clouded  by  religious  disputes,  caused  partly  by  a  disputed 
election  to  the  see  of  Bangor,  and  partly  by  his  marriage  to  his  cousin 
Crisiant,  who  was  his  second  wife.  In  the  end  he  was  excommunicated 
by  Thomas  a  Becket,  but  notwithstanding  this,  he  received  the  last  sac- 
rament and  a  Christain  burial  at  Bangor.  The  Welsh  chronicler  praises 
him  as  a  man  of  "the  most  extraordinary  sagacity,  nobleness,  fortitude, 
and  bravery." 

On  Owain's  death  his  succession  was  disputed  among  the  sons.  His 
brother  Cadwaladr  advanced  no  claims,  although  he  survived  Owain 
several  years,  dying  in  1172.  Howel  ab  Owain,  the  late  prince's  eldest 
son,  and  Davj^d,  one  of  his  sons  by  Crisiant,  were  both  declared  illegit- 
imate by  the  clergy;  while  (D  26)  Iorw^erth,  the  eldest  legitimate  son 
of  Owain,  by  Gladj's,  daughter  of  the  Lord  of  Pembroke,  was  for  some 
reason  passed  over  altogether;  although  his  son  (D  27)  Llewelyn  ab 
lORWERTH  (Llewelyn  the  Great),  later  on  obtained  Gwyned,  and  raised 
the  principality  to  its  highest  point  of  power  and  renown.  His  mother 
was  the  Princess  Margaret,  daughter  of  Madoc,  Prince  of  Powys.  Any- 
way, Howel  gained  the  throne  in  some  way,  directly  after  his  father's 
death,  but  did  not  hold  it  long.  Davyd  attacked  and  slew  him  in  1170; 
but  his  brother  Maelgwn  seized  Mon,  while  other  members  of  the  family 
refused  to  submit;  however  he  succeeded  in  driving  Maelgwn  from  Mon 
in  1173,  and  by  1174,  had  driven  all  his  brothers  or  near  relatives,  who 
refused  to  recognize  him  as  ruler,  into  exile. 

When  the  barons  revolted  against  Henry  II.  Davyd  sided  with  the 
king,  and  in  1175  married  Henry's  bastard  sister  Emma,  the  daughter 
of  Geoffrey  Plantagenet  by  a  lady  of  Maine.  This  did  not  please  his 
Welsh  subjects,  and  before  the  end  of  1175,  his  brother  Rhodri  seized  Mon 
and  part  of  the  mainland,  while  his  nephews,  thesonsof  Cynanab  Owain, 
seized  Meirionj-d.  Davj^d  was  driven  over  the  Conway.  He  was  now 
granted  Ellesmere,  but  his  power  over  Gwyned  had  about  lapsed,  and 
his  real  sway  was  limited  to  Rhuddlan  and  the  Vale  of  Clw^'d,  with  his 
newly  acquired  estate.     He  died  unnoticed  in  1203. 

During  the  years  when  Davj'd   was  trying  to  secure  his  sway  over 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  43 

Gwyned,  Rhys  ab  Gruffyd,  the  grandson  of  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr,  the  last 
actual  Prince  of  South  Wales,  lived  at  Cantref  Mawr  and  was  engaged 
in  almost  continual  warfare  with  the  lords-marchers  within  his  reach, 
and  sometimes  with  his  Welsh  neighbors.  However  after  defeating  O  wain 
Cyfeiliog,  in  a  campaign  in  1171,  he  became  reconciled  to  King-  Henry  II. 
of  England  and  joined  him  in  an  expedition  to  Ireland.  The  king- 
granted  him  Keredigion  and  other  lands,  and  returned  his  son  Howel, 
who  had  been  held  as  a  hostage.  Henry  also  made  him  Justiciar  of 
South  Wales.  He  rebuilt  the  castle  of  Aberteifi  (Cardigan),  whence  for 
many  years,  he  ruled  over  a  large  part  of  South  Wales  in  comparative 
peace  and  was  greatly  revered  by  the  Welsh,  and  in  his  later  years  was 
called  "the  lord  Rhys,"  and  he  was  emphatically  "the  lord"  in  his  do- 
main.    He  died  at  an  advanced  age  in  1197. 

Returning  to  the  affairs  of  Gwyned,  we  find  that  Llewelyn  ab 
lORWERTH,  grandson  of  Owain  Gwyned,  who  was  born  about  1176,  had 
obtained  possession  of  the  greater  part  of  Gwyned  before  his  uncle  Davyd 
died.  He  made  peace  with  King  John  of  England,  on  terms  which  gave 
him  good  title  to  the  principality  of  North  Wales,  and  in  1206  he  married 
Joan,  the  daughter  of  King  John.  In  1207  John  and  Llewelyn  fought 
Gwenwynwyn,  (son  of  Owain  Cyfeiliog;  a  lord  in  Powys,  and  Llewelyn 
seized  his  lands.  In  the  same  campaign  Llewelyn  conquered  all  of 
Keredigion  north  of  the  Aeron,  which  Maelgwn  ab  Rhys  then  possessed. 
Most  of  the  Welsh  barons  now  acknowleged  him  as  their  superior.  In 
1208  there  was  a  quarrel  between  John  and  Llewelyn.  John  helped 
Gwenwynwyn  regain  his  lands  in  Powys  in  1209,  and  Llewelyn  rav- 
aged the  land  of  Chester  and  made  successful  attacks  on  the  English 
within  his  reach,  in  the  same  year. 

John  decided  to  depose  Llewelyn,  and  in  1210,  took  the  field  with 
a  large  army  and  with  the  aid  of  Welsh  allies,  drove  Llewelyn  into  the 
mountains.  John  captured  Bangor  and  rebuilt  many  castles.  Later 
Llewelyn  sued  for  peace,  and  owingto  Joan's  intercession,  retained  the 
most  of  Gwyned,  but  ceded  Perfedwlad  and  made  large  gifts  in  cattle 
and  delivered  hostages. 

King  John  was  now  having  trouble  with  his  English  barons,  and 
Llewelyn  took  the  field  against  him,  and  with  the  help  of  Gwenwynwyn 
and  Maelgwn  and  others,  took  in  1211,  all  the  castles  which  John  had 
built  in  Gwyned,  and  achieved  some  successes  in  Powys.     He  continued 


44  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

the  hostilities  into  1212,  and  John  retaliated  by  hanging-  28  of  the  Welsh 
hostag-es  at  Nottingham  and  made  hasty  preparations  for  another  expe- 
dition into  Wales;  but  troubles  in  England  compelled  him  to  abandon 
his  designs  and  Llewelyn  soon  regained  Perfedwlad. 

John  asked  Llewelyn's  aid  against  his  English  barons,  but  the 
latter  refused  and  acted  with  the  barons  instead,  and  succeeded  in 
having  clauses  inserted  in  the  great  charter,  ("Magna  Charta")  which 
the  barons  compelled  John  to  sign,  intended  to  remedy  the  grievances  of 
the  Welsh.     John  died  in  October,  1216. 

The  Welsh  lords  of  the  South  had  revolted.  Llewelyn  came  to 
their  aid,  and  in  1215  took  Carmarthen,  demolished  the  castle  of  Llan- 
stephan  and  manj'  others,  marched  through  Keredigion  and  captured 
the  castles  of  Aberystwyth  and  Cilgerran.  He  was  equally  successful 
the  next  two  years  and  as  a  result  became  the  feudal  chief  of  all  Wales, 
not  in  the  actual  possession  of  the  lord-marchers. 

King  John  was  succeeded  on  the  English  throne  by  his  infant  son 
Henry  III.,  and  William  Marshal,  Earl  of  Pembroke,  was  made  "gov- 
ernor of  King  and  Kingdom."  Llewelyn  pursuing  his  usual  policy,  did 
homage  to  the  boy-king  at  Winchester  in  1218.  William  Marshal  died 
in  1219,  and  his  son  William  succeeded  to  his  great  possessions  and 
later  became  involved  in  a  private  war  with  Llewelyn  of  six  j^ears 
duration.  In  1221  Henry  III.  entered  Wales  with  an  armj'  in  the  earl's 
interest,  with,  however,  little  result;  but  the  earl  about  this  time  defeated 
the  Welsh  in  a  battle,  with  great  slaughter. 

The  Archbishop  of  Canterbury  now  excommunicated  Llewp:lyn, 
but  his  power  remained  unshaken,  and  again  the  King  of  England  led 
another  army  into  Wales,  and  while  no  decisive  operations  took  place, 
peace  was  made;  however  the  Earl  and  Llewelyn  were  at  feud  until 
the  king  and  prince  Llewelyn  met  at  Shrewsbury  in  1226,  when  some 
sort  of  reconcilliation  was  effected. 

For  sometime  there  was  peace,  but  in  1228,  Henry  III.  and  Llewelyn 
were  again  at  war,  and  the  king  marched  into  Montgomery.  There  was 
at  least  one  battle,  and  while  no  important  results  were  achieved  by  the 
king,  peace  was  made  and  Llewelyn  agreed  to  pay  3000  marks,  as  com- 
pensation. About  this  time  however,  Llewelyn  captured  William  de 
Braose,  the  heir  to  the  powerful  marcher  house  of  de  Braose,  and  he  was 
compelled  to  purchase  his  release  in  1229,  by  paying  3000  marks  and  by

consenting  to  the  marriag-e  of  his  daughter  Isabella  to  Davyd,  Llewelyn  's 
son  by  Joan;  and  further  by  agreeing  to  not  take  up  arms  against  the 
prince  again.  It  so  happened,  however,  that  William  had  an  intrigue 
with  Joan  during  his  captivity  and  afterwards,  which  Llewelyn  dis- 
covered, and  publicly  hanged  him  in  the  year  1230;  but  Davyd  married 
Isabella  nevertheless. 

In  1231  Llewelyn  invaded  the  marches,  burnt  Montgomery  castle, 
marched  to  Brecon  and  Gwent,  destroying  castles  and  cruelly  devas- 
tating the  districts.  He  advanced  to  Neath  and  Kidweli  and  then  with 
the  helpof  some  South  Welsh  lords,  took  Cardigan.  This  brilliant  cam- 
paign alarmed  the  English  government;  the  spiritual  weapons  of  excom- 
munication and  interdict,  were  again  employed  against  the  prince,  and 
once  more  Henr3^  III.  marched  into  Wales;  but  effected  nothing  decisive. 
A  truce  for  three  years  however  was  soon  arranged,  on  the  terms  of  the 
suspension  of  the  excommunication  and  interdict;  but  before  the  truce  ex- 
pired, he  joined  the  earl  of  Pembroke  against  the  king  and  raided  Gwent 
and  Morgannwg  and  besieged  Carmarthen,  yet  even  after  a  prolonged 
attempt,  they  failed  to  take  the  castle,  and  peace  was  renewed  the  next 
year,  on  terms  favorable  to  the  Welsh. 

In  1238,  he  convened  his  Welsh  vassal  lords  at  Strata  Florida* 
where  they  swore  fealty  to  his  son  Davyd,  who  was  to  be  his  successor. 

He  had  in  the  meantime  released  his  son  (D  28)  Gruffyd,  whom  he 
had  imprisoned  in  1228,  for  insubordination,  and  had  given  him  lands 
in  Leyn,  Now  having  arranged  his  succession  and  his  other  affairs, 
he  retired  from  the  world  and  assumed  the  monastic  habit.  He  died 
April  11,  1240,  in  the  Cistercian  monastery  at  Aberconway. 

The  Welsh  accorded  to  Llewelyn,  and  with  justice,  the  title  of 
Mawr  (the  Great)  and  he  is  known  as  "Llewelyn  the  Great."  His  full 
name,  as  we  have  noted,  was  Llewelyn  ab  Iorwerth,  and  he  was  no 
doubt  the  most  capable  ruler  the  Cymry  produced,  after  Howel  Da,  or 
Gruffyd  ab  Llewelyn. 

Llewelyn's  son  Davyd  II.  succeeded  to  the  principality  and  in 
1239,  seized  and  imprisoned  his  half-brother,  Gruffyd,  with  whom  he 
had  long  been  at  feud.  Senena,  the  wife  of  Gruffyd,  interceded  with 
King  Henry  at  Shrewsbury,  in  her  husband's  behalf,  and  Henry  made 
an  expedition  into  Wales  and  Davyd  submitted  ;  but  by  the  agreement  of 
peace  Gruffyd  was  transferred  to  the  king,  who  exacted  from  him  a  re- 


46  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

linquishment  of  much  of  his  lands,  and  kept  him  imprisoned  in  the  Tower 
of  London.  Gruffyd,  despairing  of  release,  attempted  to  escape  in  1244, 
by  means  of  a  rope,  but  fell  in  the  attempt  and  his  neck  was  broken. 

Davyd  II.  ag^ain  engaged  in  war  with  the  English,  with  varj^ng 
success  and  finally  his  career  was  cut  short,  bj-  his  death  in  1246.  He 
left  no  issue,  but  Gruffyd  had  left  three  sons,  namely:  Owain  Goch, 
(D  29)  Llewelyn  and  Davyd. 

Owain  and  Llewelyn  assumed  the  sovereignty  of  Wales  and  divided 
the  possessions  of  their  house,  making  provision  also  for  their  younger 
brother  Davj^d;  but  the  King  of  England  at  once  regarded  them  as 
rebels,  for  it  seems  the  king  had  in  earlier  years  forced  agreements, 
whereby  the  principality  was  to  pass  to  the  English  crown,  in  case 
Dav^d  II.  died  without  issue.  A  treaty  was  made  however,  in  1247,  by 
which  Henry  pardoned  the  rebellion,  retained  all  Welsh  lands  east  of 
the  Conway  and  a  part  of  the  southern  districts,  but  conferred  upon  O  wain 
and  Llewelyn  the  residue  of  the  principality. 

Peace  was  maintained  until  1254,  when  Owain  and  Davyd  took  up 
arms  against  Llewelyn,  who  had  been  strengthening  his  power  and 
popularity  among  the  Welsh. 

Llewelyn  defeated  his  brothers  at  Bryn  Derwin;  Owain  was  cap- 
tured and  imprisoned,  while  Davyd  escaped  to  England  and  Llewelyn 
seized  their  lands,  and  on  the  deatii  of  Maredj^d  ab  Llewelyn,  one  of  his 
vassal  barons,  seized  Meirionyd  (Merioneth). 

About  this  time,  Edward,  the  eldest  son  of  Henry  III.  and  heir  to  the 
English  throne,  was  married,  and  the  king  conferred  on  him  the  Earldom 
of  Chester  and  all  his  lands  in  Wales.  The  king's  lands  in  Wales  con- 
sisted principally,  of  Perfedwlad  and  three  lordships  in  the  south.  Ed- 
ward at  this  time  was  only  sixteen  years  of  age,  and  his  ministers,  pos- 
siblj'  under  the  direction  of  the  king,  attempted  to  bring  the  Welsh  lands 
named  under  English  laws  and  regulations.  The  Welsh  laws,  established 
several  centuries  before  by  the  great  Welsh  King,  Howel  Da,  had  been 
up  to  this  time  in  vogue  in  these  portions,  as  well  as  the  other  sections 
of  Wales,  and  the  people  were  bitterly  opposed  to  giving  them  up;  further- 
more, Edward's  ministers  were  cruel  and  oppressive  in  their  manage- 
ment of  affairs.  In  their  distress  they  appealed  to  Llewelyn.  He  took 
the  field  in  1256,  with  the  determination  to  regain  the  territory  which  he 
had  lost  by  the  settlement  of  1247,  and  to    relieve  the    distress   of   his 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  47 

countrymen.     For  eleven  years  there    was   almost    continual    warfare, 
which  was  finall}'^  ended  however  by  the  peace  of  1267. 

Once  determined  on  war,  Llewelyn  acted  with  vigor  and  prompti- 
tude. In  the  autumn  of  1256  he  invaded  Perfedwlad.  His  forces  were 
hailed  with  delig-ht  by  the  inhabitants  and  he  subdued  it  within  a  week, 
except  the  castles  of  Diserth  and  Deganwy.  He  then  marched  south, 
overran  parts  of  Keredigion  and  took  the  cantref  of  Buallt  in  Powys, 
which  belong-ed  to  the  Mortimers.  He  did  not  retain  these  southern  con- 
quests in  his  own  possession,  but  g-ranted  them  to  Maredyd  ab  Owain, 
who  as  a  descendent  of  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr,  aud  who  therefore  represented 
the  ancient  princely  line  of  South  Wales.  He  also  restored  to  Maredyd 
ab  Rhys  Gryg-,  lands  which  had  been  taken  from  him. 

In  his  next  campaign,  (1257)  Llewelyn  expelled  Roger  Mortimer, 
from  the  cymwd  of  Gwrthryn,  in  Powys,  and  Gruifyd  ab  Gwenwj^nwyn 
from  Cyfeiliog;  he  also  ravaged  a  large  part  of  South  Wales,  taking  and 
burning  many  castles  that  were  in  English  hands.  Henry  III.  in  the 
summer  of  1257,  came  to  his  son's  assistance  with  a  considerable  force 
and  reached  Deganwy,  but  he  did  not  cross  the  Conway.  He  soon  re- 
tired without  accomplishing  anything. 

In  1258  a  truce  for  one  year  was  concluded  between  Henry  III.  and 
Llewelyn. 

Llewelyn's  fame  was  now  spreading,  for  he  was  able  to  enter  into 
an  alliance  with  Scotch  nobles,  against  the  king,  and  to  enter  into 
friendly  relations  with  the  English  barons,  who  were  discontented  with 
Henry's  weak,  yet  tyrannical  government.  His  domestic  rule  and  mil- 
itary career  had  been  so  successful,  that  now,  nearly  all  the  Welsh 
barons,  openly  took  their  stand  on  his  side,  and  at  a  formal  assembly,  a 
large  number  of  the  nobles  of  Wales,  took  oaths  of  fealty  to  him. 

The  year  1262  brought  the  opening  of  hostilities,  after  the  peace  of 
1258.  Llewelyn  began  by  attacking  Roger  Mortimer,  one  of  the  princi- 
pal lord-marchers  in  the  cantref  of  Maelienyd,  and  he  also  seized  several 
castles  in  that  region.  He  then  compelled  the  submission  of  Brecheiniog, 
and  returned  to  Gwjmed.  The  English  were  alarmed  and  in  1263, 
Edward  marched  into  Wales,  but  without  results- 
Civil  war  now  broke  out  in  England,  between  the  barons  headed  by 
Simon  de  Montfort,  and  the  king.  Llewelyn  formed  an  alliance  with 
Simon,  who  promised  him  his  daughter  Eleanor  in  marriage. 


48  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Success  in  battle  made  Simon  de  Montfort,  finally,  the  real  ruler  of 
England  and  Edward  was  taken  prisoner.  The  Parliament  of  1265, 
assigned  the  earldom  of  Chester  to  Simon. 

In  the  meantime,  while  giving-  powerful  support  to  Simon  and  his 
party,  Llkwrlyn  had  put  down  allopposition  to  his  rule  in  Wales  and 
had  taken  the  castles  of  Diserth  and  Deganwy,  which  had  previously 
successfully  resisted  his  efforts.  Simon  rewarded  Llewiclyn  for  his 
aid,  by  forcing  the  king  to  grant  him  large  additional  territories,  in- 
cluding Mauds  castle,  Hawarden,  Ellesmere  and  Montgomery,  and  to 
formally  acknowledge  his  sovereignty  in  the  principality  of  Wales. 

Fortune  however  soon  deserted  the  great  earl.  On  August  4th  1265, 
he  was  defeated  and  slain,  by  prince  Edward,  at  the  battle  of  Evesham. 
The  loss  was  very  great  to  Llicwjclyn,  but  he  continued  the  war,  and 
in  September  1265,  made  an  inroad  into  Chester,  which  had  been  restored 
to  Edward.  The  cause  of  the  barons  was  however  now  lost,  and  they 
made  peace  with  the  king.  Also  peace  was  soon  made  between  Llewkyn 
and  P^dward,  through  the  intervention  of  the  Pope,  and  a  treaty  was 
signed  at  Montgomery  by  King  Henry  III.  and  Llewelyn;  which  was  so 
favorable  to  the  Welsh,  as  to  amount  to  a  real  triumph  for  the  Welsh 
nation.  The  king  agreed  that  Lt.ewelyn  and  his  heirs  should  have  the 
principality  of  Wales,  on  the  terms  of  doing  homage,  and  Llewelyn 
was  to  receive  the  homage  of  the  Welsh  barons,  except  that  of  Maredyd 
ab  Rh^^s,  the  representative  of  the  old  South  Wales  line  of  princes,  which 
the  king  reserved  for  himself.  The  limits  of  the  principality  were  defined 
in  a  liberal  manner  towards  Llewelyn,  and  Perfedwlad  was  granted 
to  him  also.  Davyd,  Llewelyn's  brother,  was  restored  to  his  private 
possessions,  and  Llewelyn  was  to  pay  an  indemnity  of  24rX)0  marks. 
This  treaty  practically  left  to  Edward,  no  part  of  his  former  Welsh 
estates,  except  Carmarthen  and  its  appurtenant  lands. 

It  is  impossible  to  conjecture  what  might  have  been  the  result,  had 
Llewelyn  steadfastly  adhered  to  the  terms  of  this  treaty,  butitisnot 
unreasonable  to  presume,  in  view  of  the  uncertain  and  devious  devolution 
of  the  ICnlish  kingship,  in  the  succeeding  years,  that  if  he  and  his  heirs 
had  faithfully  adhered  to  the  treaty  and  keptoutof  English  civil  entangle- 
ments, the  "crown  of  Britain"  might  have  been  fin  ally  regained  for  some 
descendent  of  his  house.     Events  however  brought  far  different  results. 

Llewelyn  kept  peace  until  the  death  of  Henry  III.  in  1272.     On

HISTORY  OF  WALES  49 

November  29th  1272,  he  was  summoned  by  a  commission  appointed  by 
the  reg-ents,  to  do  homage  to  the  new  King-  Edward,  who  himself  was 
then  absent  from  England  with  the  crusaders  in  the  East.  The  prince 
took  no  notice  of  the  summons,  and  was  in  the  meantime,  likely  negoti- 
ating with  the  sons  of  Simon  de  Montfort.  Anyway  in  1273,  he  was  be- 
trothed to  Eleanor  de  Montfort,  in  accordance  with  the  previous  promise 
of  the  late  earl,  and  about  this  time,  he  obtained  a  decree  from  Pope 
Gregory  X.,  absolving  him  from  obedience  to  citations  to  places  outside 
of  Wales. 

Furthermore,  his  brother  Davyd  and  other  barons,  revolted  about  this 
time,  and  he  defeated  them  and  seized  their  lands;  and  Davyd  fled  to 
England  and  was  well  received  by  the  king,  which  likely  offended 
Llewelyn. 

Edward  I.  was  crowned  on  August  18th  1274,  and  while  Alexander 
III.  of  Scotland,  attended  the  ceremony  and  paid  homage,  Llewelyn, 
was  conspicuous  by  his  absence.  King  Edward  determined  to  compel 
him  to  pay  homage,  and  went  to  Chester  and  summoned  him  there,  but 
Llewelyn  refused  to  attend,  and  Edward  returned  to  England  in  anger 
It  was  about  this  time  that  Eleanor  de  Montfort,  under  the  escort  of  her 
brother  Amaury ,  sailed  for  G wyned  to  marry  Llewelyn  ;  but  the  vessels 
of  her  party  were  captured  by  Bristol  sailors.  Amaury  was  imprisoned 
and  King  Edward  meanly  and  unchivalrously,  caused  Eleanor  to  be  de- 
tained in  captivity,  as  one  of  the  queen's  household.  Llewelyn  sent 
many  messages  to  the  king,  with  the  view  of  obtaining  the  release  of  his 
bride  and  forming  a  durable  peace,  but  they  were  fruitless. 

Border  hostilities  opened  in  1276,  and  in  November  of  that  year,  Ed- 
ward formally  declared  war  against  Llewelyn  and  invaded  Wales 
with  three  armies;  one  of  which  the  king  personally  commanded.  Llew- 
elyn was  finally  surrounded  in  the  mountains  of  Snowdon  and  compelled 
to  submit.  The  Treaty  of  Conway  was  signed,  which  completely  undid 
the  work  of  1267  and  reduced  Llewelyn  almost  to  the  position  of  a  baron. 
He  agreed  to  pay  50000  marks  indemnity  and  the  larger  portion  of  the 
principality  passed  from  his  sway.  His  brothers  Davyd  and  Owain 
were  granted  lands  by  the  king,  in  this  settlement. 

Later  the  king  remitted  the  fine  and  about  Christmas  time  1278,  the 
king  allowed  the  marriage  of  Llewelyn  and  Eleanor  to  take  place. 
Eleanor  died  in  childbirth  in  1280,  leaving  a  daughter  named  Gwenllian, 


so  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

and  the  loss  of  his  wife  tended  to  estrange  Llewelyn  from  the  English 
court,  while  the  complaints  of  oppression  from  the  Welsh  people  also 
embittered  him;  however  no  formal  rupture  of  peace  occurred,  until  in 
1282. 

Llewelyn  and  Davyd,  his  brother,  had  become  reconciled  to  each 
other  and  a  general  uprising  seems  to  have  been  agreeded  upon,  through- 
out North  and  South  Wales;  mainly  to  contend  against  the  substitution  of 
Norman-English  laws  for  the  Welsh  lawsof  Howel  Da.  The  campaign 
was  commenced  by  Davyd,  who  suddenlj^  attacked  and  took  Ha  warden 
castle  and  captured  Roger  Clifford,  the  Justiciar.  Llewelyn  at  once 
crossed  the  Conway  and  ravaged  the  country  up  to  Chester  itself,  and 
besieged  Rhuddlan  and  Flint.  Also,  almost  simultaneously,  the  chiefs 
among  the  southern  barons,  Gruffyd  ab  Maredyd  and  Rhys  ab  Maelgwn, 
took  Aberystwyth,  burned  the  castle  and  destroyed  the  ramparts 
around  the  town.  The  Archbishop  of  Canterbury  attempted  to  intercede, 
but  Llewelyn  and  the  king  could  not  agree  on  the  terms,  and  King 
Edward  marched  into  Gwyned  at  the  head  of  his  army  and  Llewelyn 
and  his  allies  were  finally  defeated,  and  Llewelyn  was  killed  on  De- 
cember 10th  1282,  near  Buallt  Castle,  by  a  force  commanded  b}'^  Sir  Ed- 
mund Mortimer.  His  head  was  sent  to  Edward  and  it  was  afterwards 
exhibited  in  London.  He  is  usually  regarded  as  the  last  Cymric  Prince 
of  Wales,  and  this  view  is  literally  true,  for  he  was  the  last  lineal  de- 
scendent  of  Rhodri  Ma\vr,  who  ruled  over  the  whole,  or  nearly  the 
whole  of  the  ancient  kingdom  of  Gwyned  and  Wales.  However  to  his 
brother  Davj^d  III.,  must  be  technically  accorded  the  melancholy  honor, 
of  being  the  last  ruling  Welsh  prince,  if  we  except  the  temporary  success 
of  Owen  Glyndwr  many  3^ears  later. 

Davyd  was  in  command  in  Snowdon,  when  Llewelyn  was  killed, 
and  he  was  at  once  acknowledged  as  their  prince,  by  the  Welsh  barons. 
For  a  time  he  held  out,  but  was  finally  betraj^ed  into  the  king's  hands 
and  was  imprisoned  at  Rhuddlan  castle.  The  Welsh  barons  now  sur- 
rendered and  Wales  was  finally  completely  and  firmly  in  English  hands 
and  has  so  remained  to  this  day,  with  the  exception  of  the  several  years 
when  Owen  Glyndwr  was  in  power  in  the  principality. 

Davyd  was  tried  as  a  baron  of  England,  by  a  Parliament  held  at 
Shrewsbury;  was  convicted,  and  on  October  3d  1283,  was  hanged,  drawn 
and  quartered. 


HISTORY  OF  WALES  51 

Edward's  brutal  treatment  of  the  remains  of  Llewelyn  and  his 
harsh  dealing-  with  Davj'd,  was  long-  remembered  by  the  Welsh,  in  hatred 
and  abhorrence. 

Thus  on  the  death  of  Llewelyn  III.  (Llewelyn  ab  Gruffyd)  and 
Davyd  III.  ( Davyd  ab  Gruffj^d),  we  have  seen  the  end  of  Welsh  indepen- 
dence, the  final  closing-  of  the  affairs  of  Wales  as  a  separate  nation; 
and  more  than  this:— it  brought  to  a  finale,  the  rule  of  one  of  the  very 
oldest  of  the  reig-ning-  families  of  western  Kurope — a  family  that  could 
trace  its  orig-in  to  the  time  when  Britain  still  formed  a  part  of  the  Roman 
Empire,  and  which  had,  with  some  brief  intervals,  ruled  in  Gwyned, 
and  in  other  sections  of  Wales;  also  at  times  over  the  whole  of  it,  as  well 
as  over  the  ancient  British  nation,  which  comprised  about  all  of  western 
Eng-land  and  Scotland  and  included  Whales,  for  nearly  nine  hundred 
years.  The  Britons  were  singularly  devoted  and  loyal  to  this  long  line 
of  kings  and  princes  and  their  memory  is  greatly  revered  and  cherished 
to  this  day.  During  this  long  period  these  Cymric  kings  or  princes  of 
the  line  of  Cuneda,  at  various  times,  beginning  with  the  reign  of  Alfred 
the  Great  in  England,  paid  personal  homage  to  the  Saxon,  Norman  and 
English  kings;  but  this  did  not  involve  any  authority  of  these  foreign 
kings  in  the  administration  of  the  national  affairs,  or  laws,  of  the  Cymric 
nation.  It  was  personal  onlj^  and  the  custom  was  doubtless  begun  in 
Alfred's  time,  for  purposes  of  alliance  against  the  Danes.  The  formality 
w^as  not  always  practiced  however,  as  some  of  these  Cymric  rulers  neg- 
lected to  perform  the  honor. 

There  is  not  in  all  history,  another  such  example  of  prolonged,  per- 
sistent and  tenacious  resistance  of  a  nation  or  people,  against  a  vastly 
more  numerous  and  powerful  foe,  as  this  desperate  struggle  of  these 
Britons  for  nearly  nine  hundred  years,  for  the  maintenance  of  their  in- 
dependence, and  it  is  interesting  to  surmise  what  might  have  been  the 
reward  of  such  a  people,  had  they  refrained  from  their  almost  continual 
fighting  among  themselves  and  conserved  their  strength  for  their  foreign 
enemies. 

Edward  I.  did  not  add  to  England  the  Welsh  possessions  which  he 
had  now  gained  by  conquest;  the  principality  was  still  maintained,  but 
annexed  to  the  English  Crown;  and  in  1301  his  son  Edward,  who  was 
born  in  Wales,  and  who  became  his  successor,  as  Edward  II.,  was 
created  "Prince  of  Wales,"  and  it  became  the  custom, (which  has  been 


52  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

maintained  to  this  day) ,  for  the  King-  of  Eng-land  to  grant  the  principality 
to  the  heir  to  the  English  Crown,  and  therefore  the  Prince  of  Wales, 
is  always,  the  heir  presumptive  to  the  Throne  of  England. 

Edward  resolved  to  make  his  hold  on  Wales  secure  and  immediately 
built  several  g^reat  castles,  of  which  Carnarvon  is  the  best  known  exam- 
ple; and  he  also  encouraged  the  settlement  of  English  traders  and  art- 
isans in  the  principality. 

While  the  English  authority  in  Wales  was  now  supreme,  they  could 
not  change  the  customs  and  language  of  these  obstinate  and  perservering 
Britons,  and  even  to  this  day,  the  predominant  spoken  language  in 
Wales  is  Brythonic,  (Welsh). 

As  we  have  stated,  the  independence  of  Wales  ended  with  the  suc- 
cesses of  Edward  I.  and  it  has  remained  under  the  government  of  Eng- 
land to  the  present  time,  except  for  a  period  of  about  seven  years  in  the 
early  part  of  the  fiifteenth  century,  during  which  Owen  Glyndwr 
(Owen  Glendower)  was  the  real  ruler  over  the  principality.  There  is 
however  much  satisfaction,  from  a  Welsh  view-point,  in  the  fact,  that  a 
descendant  of  Cuneda,  a  prince  of  Welsh  blood,  who  came  of  the  line  of 
the  South  Wales  princes,  finally''  became  king  of  England  and  Wales, 
in  the  person  of  Henry  Tudor  (The  Earl  of  Richmond),  who  became 
Henry  VII.  and  king  of  England,  after  his  victory  over  Richard  III.  on 
Bosworth  Field,  August  22d,  1485.  Henry  was  the  first  of  the  Tudor 
dynasty  of  England  and  was  son  of  Edmund  Tudor  and  grandson  of 
Owen  Tudor,  a  Welsh  knight,  who  was  a  great-grandson  of  (C  32) 
Thomas  ap  Llewelyn  ap  Rhys,  a  decendent  of  the  Princes  of  South 
Wales.  Henry  VII.  was  succeeded  by  his  son  Henry  VIII.  April  21, 
1509.  Then  came  the  son  of  the  latter,  Edward  VI.,  who  was  king  in 
1547-1553,  and  following  him  was  Mary  I.,  (Bloody  MarjO,  who  was  a 
daughter  of  Henry  VIII.  She  was  queen,  July  13,  1553  to  1558,  and 
was  succeeded  by  Elizabeth,  another  daughter  of  Henry  VIII,  the  last 
and  most  prominent  of  the  Tudor  dynasty  and  one  of  the  most  illustrious 
and  very  greatest,  of  the  rulers  of  Great  Britain;  who  was  queen,  1558- 
1603.  Elizabeth  was  as  stated,  the  last  of  the  so-called  Tudor  dj^nasty; 
however  all  the  long  line  of  kings  and  queens  of  England  after  Elizabeth 
were  decendents  of  the  first  Tudor  king,  Henry  VII. ,  and  so  also  is  the 
present  king,  Edward  VII.

properly  be  stated,  that  there  is  nothing-  more  of  great  importance  to 
record  ,  in  a  brief  history  of  "Wales,  except  tlie  stirring-  events  of  Owen 
Glyndvvr's  memorable  rebellion. 


OWEN  GLYNDWR. 

Owen  Glyndwr  and  his  brother,  (A.  C,  D,  34)  Tudor  Glyndwr, 
(Tudor  ap  Griffith  Vychan),  who  was  associated  with  him  in  the  rebel- 
lion, were  direct  decendents  in  the  male  line,  of  the  celebrated  Bledyn 
AB  Cynfyn,  Prince  of  Powys  and  also  for  a  time  of  Gwyned;  whose 
career  has  been  briefly  given,  in  the  preceding  pages;  and  on  their  moth- 
er's side  from  Prince  Llewelyn,  the  last  British  Prince  of  all  Wales, 
also  from,  Rhys  ab  Tewdwr,  Prince  of  South  Wales. 

Bledyn  ab  Cynfyn  had  a  son,  Maredyd  ab  Bledyn,  who  died  in 
1129  or  1130,  and  he  had  a  son  Madog  ab  Maredyd  (Madoc  ap  Meredith), 
who  died  in  1157,  and  left  a  son,  (A  26)  Gruffyd  ab  Madog  (Griffith  ap 
Madoc),  who  inherited  Lower  Powys,  or  Powys  Fadog.  This  Gruffyd 
AB  Madog  had  a  son  (A  27)  Madog  ab  Gruffyd  (Madoc  ap  Griffith), 
who  in  the  year  1200  founded  the  beautiful  Abbey  of  Valle  Crucis,  the 
ruins  of  which,  stand  in  one  of  the  loveliest  nooks  of  the  Vale  of  Llan- 
gollen and  presents  one  of  the  most  exquisite  pictures  of  the  kind  in 
Britain.  Beneath  its  grass  grown  aisles  lies  the  dust  of  this  chieftain 
of  Powys. 

On  a  conical  hill  rising  some  eight  hundred  feet  above  the  ruins  of 
the  Abbey,  stands  the  ruins  of  Castle  Dinas  Bran,  the  most  proudly 
perched  mediaeval  fortress  in  Wales  and  perhaps  in  all  Britain.  Here 
in  this  eagles  nest,  swung  twixt  earth  and  heaven,  lived  the  Princes  of 
Powys  Fadog,  and  Lords  of  Bromfield  and  Yale. 

Madog  ab  Gruffyd,  the  founder  of  the  Abbey,  had  a  son,  (A  28) 
Gruffyd  ab  Madog  (Griffith  ap  Madoc),  who  was  also  grandson  on  the 
maternal  side  of  Owain  Gwyned,  Prince  of  North  Wales,  and  who  died 
in  1270  and  was  interred  in  Valle  Crucis  Abbey.  He  had  at  times  been 
on  friendly  terms  with  the  English  king,  and  at  other  times  was  in  alli- 
ance with  the  Welsh.  He  married  Emma,  daughter  of  James,  Lord 
Audley,  who  had  done  great  service  for  Henry  III.  against  the  Welsh, 
with  a  body  of  German  cavalry.  Madoc  ap  Griffith,  one  of  the  sons  of 
Griffith  and  Emma  followed,  and  he  died  leaving  two  young  sons  Llew- 


54  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

elyn  and  Griffith  to  whom  he  left  his  inheritance,  dividing-  it  between 
them.  The  elder  Llewelyn,  had  Dinas  Bran,  with  the  lordships  of  Yale 
and  Bromfield;  while  Griffith  had  Chirk  castle  and  the  territory  attached 
to  it. 

These  two  boys  were  by  the  law,  wards  of  King-  Edward  I.,  and  he 
placed  them  in  the  custody  of  the  great  marcher  barons,  "Warren  Morti- 
mer and  Rog-er  Mortimer.  Warren  had  Llewelyn  and  Roger  had  Griffith. 
The  two  boys  soon  disappeared  and  a  black  tale  is  told  of  a  deep  pool  in 
the  Dee,  beneath  Holt  castle,  and  a  midnig-ht  tragedy  therein  enacted.  At 
any  rate,  the  boys  were  seen  no  more  and  the  Earls,  according  to  custom, 
succeeded  to  their  estates.  It  seems,  however,  that  the  conscience  of  Earl 
Warren  was  stirred  later  on,  to  in  some  measure  atone  for  the  outrage 
he  had  perpetrated  upon  the  family,  as  he  petitioned  the  king,  while  at 
Rhuddlen  in  1282,  to  have  the  manors  of  Glyndyfrdwy,  on  the  Dee  be- 
yond Llangollen,  and  of  Cynllaeth,  a  few  miles  to  the  south  of  it,  re- 
stored to  (A  29)  Griffith,  an  uncle  of  the  two  boys  who  had  so  myster- 
iously disappeared.  This  Griffith  was  another  son  of  that  Griffith 
AP  Madoc  who  had  married  Emma,  the  daughter  of  Lord  Audley. 

In  this  manner  Griffith  succeeded  to  these  estates,  and  he  was 
known  as  Y.  Baron  Gwyn  or  "the  White  Baron,"  Lord  of  Gljmdyfrdwy 
in  Yale.  He  died  about  the  year  1300.  Fourth  in  direct  descent  from 
him,  and  occupying  the  same  position,  was  (A  33)  Griffith  Vychan, 
the  father  of  Owen  Glyndwr  and  Tudor  Glyndwr. 

Such  was  the  parentage  and  ancestry  of  Owen  and  his  brother 
Tudor,  through  their  father. 

On  their  mother's  side  their  descent  was  also  quite  as  distinguished. 
Owen  stated  that  their  mother,  Elen,  or  Eleanor,  was  a  great-grand- 
daughter of  the  Princess  Catherine,  the  daughter  of  the  last  Prince 
Llewelyn,  who  was  the  last  British  Prince  of  Wales,  and  no  doubt  she 
was,  as  it  is  unlikely  that  Owen  could  be  mistaken  about  it,  and  the 
statement  is  confirmed  by  Burke's  Peerage  (Mostyn),  Page  1173  (1906 
Ed.)  But  be  this  as  it  may,  she  also  came  from  other  princely  stock. 
She  was  a  daughter  of  (C  32)  Thomas  ap  Llewelyn  ap  Rhys,  a  descen- 
dent  of  the  Sovereign  Prince  of  South  Wales  and  Lord  of  Iscoede  Vchir- 
wen  in  Cardigan  and  of  Trefgarn  in  the  parish  of  Brawdy,  Pembroke- 
shire. Elen's  sister,  Margaret,  another  daughter  of  Thomas  ap 
Llewelyn  ap  Rhys,  was   the    wife  of    Tudor    ap    Gronow,    of  Pen- 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  55 

mynydd,  and  they  were  the  grand  parents  of  the  famous  Owen  Tudor 
from  whom  the  Tudor  Kings  and  Queens  of  England  were  descended. 
Thus  it  will  be  seen,  that  Thomas  ap  Llewelyk  ap  Rhys,  was  the 
ancestor  of  Owen  Glyndwr  and  Tudor  Glyndwr,  and  also  of  the  pres- 
ent king  of  England,  Edward  VII. 

Shakespeare  in  his  Henry  IV.  depicts  Owen  Glyndwr  as  a  Wild 
Welsh  chieftain,  but  on  the  contrary  he  was  a  polished,  educated  gen- 
tleman of  princely  birth  and  accustomed  to  king's  courts  and  military 
associations.  He  was  a  student  at  Law  at  the  Inns  of  Court  of  London. 
After  receiving  his  education  he  seems  to  have  taken  up  the  profession  of 
arms  at  the  English  court,  and  later  on  he  became,  certainly,  squire  of 
the  body  to  Henry  Bolingbroke  who  afterwards  became  Henry  IV;  and 
it  seems  strange  that  men  so  intimately  acquainted  and  linked  together 
in  a  relationship  so  intimate  as  these  two  were,  should  later  engage  in 
such  a  long  and  bitter  war,  as  the  Welsh  rebellion  under  Owen's  lead- 
ership involved. 

Some  Welsh  authorities  state  that  Owen  was  also  squire  of  the 
body,  to  Richard  II.  during  the  later  years  of  his  reign:  and  it  is  likely 
he  was,  after  Henry  was  banished  to  France  in  1398.  He  is  said  to  have 
been  present  when  Richard  II  was  made  a  prisoner  by  Henry  at  Flint 
castle,  and  if  he  was,  he  must  have  viewed  the  proceedings  with  feelings 
of  sorrow  and  regret,  for  he  was  at  that  time  an  intimate  friend  of  both. 

Owen,  being  the  eldest  son,  born  in  1359,  had  succeeded  to  the  estates 
of  Glyndyfrdwy  and  Cynllaeth,  (or  Sycherth),  and  through  his  mother 
he  had  also  inherited  property  in  Pembroke.  The  two  former  estates 
were  close  together,  if  they  did  not  actually  join,  and  there  were  man- 
sions on  each.  Glyndyfrdwy  was  the  most  important  property,  but 
Sycherth  or  Sychnant  was  the  most  imposing  edifice.  It  comprised  a 
gate  house,  a  strong  tower  and  a  moat.  The  main  house  contained  nine 
halls,  each  with  a  wardrobe  filled  with  the  raiment  of  Owen's  retainers. 
Near  the  house,  on  a  verdant  bank,  was  a  wooden  building  supported 
on  posts  and  roofed  with  tiles,  containing  eight  apartments  for  the 
guests.  There  was  also  a  church  in  the  form  of  a  cross,  and  several 
chapels.  The  mansion  was  surrounded  with  every  convenience  and 
ever}'^  essential,  for  the  maintenance  of  profuse  hospitality:  a  park,  war- 
ren and  pigeon  house,  mill,  orchards  and  vineyard;  a  w*ell  stocked  fish 
pond,  a  heronry  and  plenty  of  game  of  all  sorts;  and  it  is  stated  that  the 


56  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

hospitality  of  the  establishment  was  so  great,  that  the  office  of  gate 
porter  was  a  sinecure.  A  tumulus,  called  "Glyndwr's  Mount"  crowned 
by  a  group  of  fir  trees,  marks  the  location  of  this  famous  place:  along 
the  railroad  about  five  minutes  westward  from  Glyndyfrdwy  station, 
where  the  river  Dee  makes  a  sudden  bend  to  the  north.  It  is  perched 
high,  and  nearly  overhangs  the  railroad. 

The  Commote  of  Glyndyfrdwy,  which  formed  Owen's  Dee  property 
lay  in  the  then  newly  formed  countj^  of  Merioneth,  though  on  the  east  it 
was  wedged  in  by  the  Marcher  lordships  of  Chirk,  Bromfield  and  Yale; 
while  on  the  north  it  touched  the  Norman  lordships  of  Ruthin  and  Den- 
bigh. His  rent  roll  was  about  two  hundred  pounds  a  year,  which  was 
very  large  for  those  days,  and  he  was  probably  one  of  the  richest  native 
Welshmen  of  his  times,  and  all  of  the  contemporary  bards  unite  in 
praise  of  his  hospitality. 

A  strip  of  land  known  as  the  Common  of  Croesau,  lay  between  the 
Dee  valley  and  the  water  shed  of  the  Clwyd,  It  wa?  claimed  by  Owen, 
and  also  by  Reginald,  Lord  Grey,  of  Ruthin,  and  was  the  primary 
cause  of  Owen  Glyndwr's  rebellion.  It  originally  belonged  to  Owen's 
estate,  but  was  seized  by  Lord  Grey.  Owen  appealed  to  Richard  II. 
and  the  case  was  decided  in  his  favor;  but  later  when  Henry  IV.  was 
king.  Lord  Grey  again  seized  it,  and  when  Owen  once  more  took  his 
case  to  the  king,  Henry  refused  to  even  listen  to  his  plea,  and  Grey  was 
permitted  to  remain  in  possession.  But  this  was  not  the  only  outrage 
Grej'  perpetrated  upon  him.  About  this  time  the  king  was  preparing  for 
his  expedition  against  the  Scots,  in  July  1400,  and  among  the  noblemen 
and  gentlemen  summoned  to  his  standard  was,  Owen  Glyndwr.  This 
summons  was  sent  through  Lord  Grey,  who  kept  Owen  in  ignorance  of  it 
until  it  was  too  late,  to  either  join  the  kings  army  or  send  an  explana- 
tion; and  on  this  account  Owen  was  adjudged  a  rebel  at  the  English 
court.  Owen  seems  to  have  remained  quietly  on  his  estates,  however, 
for  sometime  afterwards,  although  a  few  of  his  Welsh  contemporaries 
were  at  this  time  making  some  trouble  for  the  Norman  and  English 
barons  in  their  midst,  and  giving  evidence  of  a  general  unrest  and 
spirit  of  retaliation  among  the  people.  They  only  needed  a  leader  to 
make  a  general  uprising  an  actual  fact,  and  this  leader  was  soon  to  be 
found,  in  the  person  of  Owen  Glyndwr,  then  the  leading  and  most  influ- 
ential and  popular  Welshman  in  North  Wales.     Lord  Grey  of  Ruthin 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  57 

castle,  seems  to  have  determined  to  take  advantage  of  Ow^en's  unfavor- 
able standing-  at  court  at  this  time  and  perhaps  designed  to  seize  his 
estates.  At  any  rate  he  collected  his  forces  and  joined  them  with  his 
brother,  Earl  Talbot  of  Chirk  castle,  and  they  suddenly  attacked  Owen 
at  one  of  his  manors,  (it  is  uncertain  whether  it  was  at  Glyndyfrdwy  or 
Sycherth),  and  he  only  had  time  to  escape  to  the  neighboring  woodlands 
before  it  was  surrounded.  Owen's  two  manors  were  about  seven  or 
eight  miles  apart  and  separated  by  the  Berwyn  mountains. 

This  attack  was  the  last  drop  needed  to  fill  this  Welshman's  cup  of 
bitterness  to  the  brim,  and  it  was  an  evil  day  for  Grey,  as  well  as  for 
his  master  Henry  IV.,  when  this  lion  was  finally  hunted  from  his  lair. 
This  gallant  and  experienced  fighter  of  princely  blood  was  just  the 
leader  the  Welsh  people  needed  at  this  time,  to  set  in  action  their  already 
high  strung  desire  for  war.  He  was  a  chief  after  their  own  heart,  and 
most  important  of  all  was  the  fact  that  in  his  veins  flowed  the  blood  of 
the  Princes  of  Powys,  of  South  Wales  and  of  Elewelyn  the  Great.  He 
was  the  right  man  to  lead  them  and  also  to  stir  up  the  enthusiasm  and 
rouse  the  long  crushed  patriotism,  of  an  emotional  and  martial  race. 

Owen  stepped  at  once  to  the  front  and  was  hailed  with  acclama- 
tion, as  their  leader,  and  promptly  raised  his  standard:  the  ancient  Red 
Dragon  of  Wales,  upon  a  white  ground.  He  was  at  this  time  forty-one 
years  of  age,  handsome,  brave,  experienced  and  able.  The  hardj^ 
mountaineers  flocked  to  his  support  with  their  bows  and  spears  and  so 
also  did  the  courageous  and  tough  warlike  sons  of  Wales,  come  from  the 
valleys,  vales  and  uplands,  ready  to  contest  against  their  country's 
wrongs. 

Thus,  in  the  year  1400,  was  begun  the  decade  of  strife  which  deso- 
lated Wales  and  embittered  the  life  of  Henry  IV.  of  England.  Nothing 
is  known  of  the  real  cause  of  the  personal  emnity  between  Henry  IV. 
and  Owen,  which  seems  to  have  been  evidenced  just  previous  to  this  time, 
but  it  must  have  been  something  radical  and  unforgivable,  to  break  the 
long,  intimate  and  close  friendship  of  these  two.  In  any  event,  to  Lord 
Grey,  of  the  great  Red  Castle  of  Ruthin,  is  accorded  the  undesirable 
honor,  of  being  the  immediate  instigator  of  this  devastating  war. 

In  the  van  of  the  hosts  gathering  to  Owen's  standard,  came  the  Welsh 
bards,  with  their  harps,  and  carrying  also  the  bent  bow,  which  was 
symbolic  of  war;  and  to  them  indeed  Owen  owed,  in  great  measure,  the 


58  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

swift  and  universal  recognition,  which  made  him  at  once  the  man  of  the 
hour.  They  persuaded  themselves  that  their  deliverance  from  the  Saxons 
was  at  hand,  and  saw  in  the  valiant  figure  of  Owen  Glyndwr,the  fulfil- 
ment of  the  ancient  prophecies,  that  a  Welsh  prince  should  once  again 
wear  the  "Crown  of  Britain." 

Owen  naturally  made  his  first  attack  on  his  relentless  enemy,  Dord 
Grey  of  Ruthin.  He  fell  on  the  little  town  and  made  a  clean  sweep  of 
the  stock  and  valuables;  thence  he  passed  eastward  and  crossed  the 
English  border,  spreading  panic  everywhere;  harrying  and  burning  the 
properity  of  the  English  and  their  sj^mpathizers.  He  invaded  western 
Shropshire,  capturing  castles  and  burning  houses;  in  fact  threatened 
Shrewsbury  itself. 

In  the  meantime  the  king  who  had  effected  nothing  in  the  north 
against  the  Scots,  learned  of  the  warlike  events  in  Wales  and  promptly 
turned  about  and  hastened  southward.  He  reached  Northampton  Sept. 
14,  1400  and  promptly  summoned  his  sheriffs  of  the  midland  and  border 
counties,  to  join  him  at  once  with  their  troops,  to  quell  the  insurrection 
in  Wales.  He  marched  at  once  to  Shrewsbury  and  thence  into  Wales. 
Naturally  neither  Henrj^  or  his  soldiers  knew  anything  about  Welsh 
campaigning  or  of  Welsh  tactics  and  they  expected  an  easy  victory. 
They  little  realized  what  an  indomitable  and  wily  foe  they  were  to  con- 
tend with,  and  in  this  first  campaign  they  did  not  even  get  sight  of  them; 
however  they  got  out  of  the  country  without  feeling  the  pricks  of  their 
spears,  which  is  more  than  can  be  said  of  later  invasions.  The  only 
success  attained  in  this  first  campaign  was  the  plundering  of  the  Abbey 
of  Llanfaes,  and  the  invasion  is  designated  by  authorities  as  a  "prome- 
nade." Henry  however  on  his  return  to  England  declared  Owen's 
estates  confiscated  and  bestowed  them  on  his  own  half-brother,  the  Earl 
of  Somerset;  but  many  years  were  to  elapse  before  any  English  noble- 
man dared  take  possession  of  them.  On  November  20th  a  general  pardon 
was  offered  to  all  except  Owen;  but  only  a  very  few  took  any  notice  of 
it.  It  is  due  King  Henry  however  to  state,  that  he  was  inclined  to  greater 
clemency  at  this  time,  than  the  Parliament. 

During  the  succeeding  winter  Owen  was  carefully  and  wisely 
making  his  plans,  and  the  enthusiasm  of  the  day  was  spreading  through- 
out the  land  and  reached  even  to  the  colleges  of  England,  where  there 
were  many  Welsh    students.     At   Oxford   many    Welshmen   put   aside 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  59 

their  books  and  stole  home  to  join  Owen's  standard,  filled  with  the  glow 
of  rekindled  patriotism. 

In  the  early  spring-  of  1401,  William  and  Rhys  ap  Tudor,  of  the  ever 
famous  stock  of  Penmynydd,  took  the  great  castle  at  Conway  by  strategy, 
with  forty  followers.  William  andRhj^s  were  among  Owen  Glyndwr's 
most  trusted  lieutenants;  however  William,  who  retained  command  in 
Conway,  was  finally  starved  into  submission  by  Henry  Percy  (Hotspur), 
who  was  then  Justice  of  North  Wales  for  the  king.  By  the  terms  of  sur- 
render, William  ap  Tudor  retired  from  the  fortress,  leaving  nine  hos- 
tages in  Henr5^'s  hands,  who  promptl}^  put  them  to  death  after  the  usual 
brutal  fashion  of  the  time. 

In  the  meantime  Owen  had  turned  his  attention  to  the  south.  South 
Wales  had  hitherto  not  shown  much  desire  to  rise;  but  when  the  now 
renowned  Glj^ndwr  raised  his  Dragon  standard  on  the  summit  of  Plin- 
limmon,  there  was  prompt  response  in  men  and  arms.  He  now  fell  with 
a  heavy  hand  on  this  southern  country,  and  almost  in  the  beginning  of 
this  campaign,  fought  a  battle  which  aroused  great  enthusiasm  and 
brought  almost  every  wavering  Welshman  to  his  support.  It  seems  he 
was  encamped  on  the  summit  of  Mynydd  Hyddgant,  with  less  than  500 
men  and  was  surrounded  during  the  night,  by  1500  Flemings.  Owen 
promptly  took  the  lead  of  his  troops,  and  fell  upon  the  enemy  with  such 
fury,  that  he  and  most  of  his  men  cut  their  way  out,  leaving  200  dead 
Flemings  on  the  mountain  side. 

During  this  entire  summer  of  1401,  Owen  was  fighting  and  ravaging 
throughout  South  and  Mid- Wales;  castles  here  and  there  were  taken 
and  New  Radnor,  under  Sir  John  Grendor,  was  stormed  and  taken, 
and  the  sixty  defenders  were  hung  on  the  ramparts,  by  way  of  encour- 
agement to  others  to  yield.  He  also  destroyed  the  noble  abbey  of  Cwm- 
hir  about  this  time,  doubtless  on  account  of  the  animosity  of  the  Church 
to  his  success,  and  swept  on  down  the  Severn  Valley;  being  finally 
halted  by  the  great  Red  Castle  of  Powys,  from  which  he  was  repulsed, 
after  much  hard  fighting  and  the  destruction  of  the  suburbs  of  the  town. 

In  the  meantime  Henry  Percy  (Hotspur)  had  abandoned  North 
Wales  and,  now  in  August  1401,  throughout  all  of  North,  South  and 
Mid-Wales,  so  far  as  the  open  country  was  concerned,  the  rule  of  Owen 
Glyndwr  was  supreme,  from  the  English  border  to  the  sea. 

The  English  and  King  Henry  were  panic-stricken  by  these  events 


€0  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

and  an  invasion  of  Wales  on  a  large  scale  was  planned  at  once.  The 
king-  and  Prince  Henrj^,  with  a  large  army,  entered  Wales  in  October, 
but  after  much  weary  marching  without  being  able  to  bring  Owen  to  an 
engagement,  they  were  compelled  to  retreat  to  Shrewsbury,  where  the 
army  was  disbanded  before  the  end  of  the  same  month.  They  lost  much 
of  their  equipment  in  this  campaign,  through  the  harrying  of  Owen's 
troops;  and  the  only  results  attained  were  the  destruction  of  the  Abbey 
of  Ystradfflur,  where  eleven  Welsh  Princes,  of  the  twelfth  and  thir- 
teenth centuries,  were  interred,  the  execution  of  an  eminent  Welsh  gen- 
tleman and  patriot,  Lleweljm  ab  Griffith  Vychan  of  Caj'O,  who  had 
purposely  misled  the  army,  and  the  capture  of  one  thousand  Welsh 
children. 

Following  these  events  Owen  moved  into  North  Wales  and  early  in 
November  attacked  the  great  English  castle  of  Carnarvon.  Its  garrison 
had,  however,  been  reinforced  and  he  was  repulsed  with  a  loss  of  300 
men.  Owen  soon  afterwards  went  into  winter  quarters  at  Glyndyfr- 
dwy,  with  his  captains  and  bards.  The  castle  Dinas  Bran,  then  pos- 
sessed by  the  English  Earl  of  Arundel,  was  in  plain  sight,  and  the 
great  Chirk  castle,  in  English  hands,  was  less  than  a  dozen  miles  away; 
however,  the  whole  country,  outside  of  the  castles,  was  openly  or  secret- 
ly, in  sympathy  with  Owen,  and  the  movement  had  now  become  national. 
There  was  nothing  to  check  the  songs  and  revelry,  which  sounded  high 
above  the  breakers  of  the  Dee,  in  the  long  winter  nights,  in  Owen's 
quarters. 

During  December,  Owen  made  a  dash  upon  Harlech  castle,  but  it 
was  saved  to  the  king  for  the  time,  by  reinforcements  from  Chester,  con- 
sisting of  400  archers  and  100  men-at-arms.  However  a  more  satis- 
factory expedition  to  Ruthin,  in  January  1402,  resulted  in  the  defeat 
and  capture  of  Owen's  old  enemy,  Lord  Grey,  whose  force  was  cut  to 
pieces  by  Ow^en's  followers.  Grey  was  confined  in  the  castle  of  Dolba- 
dam,  in  the  Snowdon  mountains,  and  his  ransom  was  set  at  ten  thousand 
marks.  He  was  held  by  Owen  for  nearly  a  year,  when  he  was  released 
on  payment  down  of  six  thousand  marks  and  the  guaranty  of  the  re- 
maining four  thousand,  by  placing  hostages  in  Owen's  hands,  among 
which  was  his  eldest  son;  Grey  was  also  compelled  to  agree  to  never 
bear  arms  against  Owen,  during  the  remainder  of  his  life.  This  set- 
tlement was  arranged  with  Owen,  by  the  king,  through  a  commission, 
and  it  is  stated  it  left  Grey  a  poor  man  as  long  as  he  lived.

"Glyndwr's  Mount." 


This  tumulus  is  the  site  of  the  mansion  of  Glyndyfrdwy,  one  of  the 
two  mansions  on  the  estates  of  Owen  Glyndwr.  It  is  near  the  railroad 
about  five  minutes  to  the  westward  of  Glyn^lyfr  dwj'  st  itioii  in  North 
Wales.  The  site  of  the  other  maiision,  called  Sycherth,  lies  in  a  mead- 
ow, between  a  wooded  hill  and  the  Cynllaeth  brook,  near  Llansilin,  and 
is  conspicuous  from  the  road  leading-  up  the  valley  to  the  little  hamlet. 

Griffith  Vychan,  the  father  of  (Jwen  Glyndwr  and  his  brother  Tu- 
dor Glyndwr  (Tudor  ap  Griffith  Vychan),  was  the  lord  of  these  es- 
tates, and  on  his  death  they  passed  to  Owen,  the  elde->t  son.  They 
had  been  in  possession  of  the  family  from  the  time  their  princely  ances- 
tors were  dispossessed  of  their  sovereign  authority. 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  61 

In  the  meantime  Owen  and  Henry  Percy  (Hotspur)  had  met,  and  it 
seems  some  understanding-,  which  had  bearing-  on  future  events,  was 
arranged.  Owen  also  at  this  time  was  in  communication  with  the  King 
of  Scotland  and  the  native  chieftains  of  Ireland,  as  well  as  the  King  of 
France;  with  the  object  of  forming  alliances  ag-ainst  the  English  King. 
His  messengers  bearing  his  letters,  to  King-  Robert  of  Scotland  and  to 
the  Irish  chieftains,  were  however  captured  and  beheaded.  The  letter 
to  Robert  of  Scotland  is  of  much  interest  and  it  is  given  in  full  as  fol- 
lows: 

"Most  high  and  Mighty  and  redoubted  Lord  and  Cousin,  I  commend 
me  to  your  most  High  and  Royal  Majesty,  humbly  as  it  beseemeth  me 
with  all  honour  and  reverence.  Most  redoubted  Lord  and  Sovereign 
Cousin,  please  it  you  and  your  most  high  Majesty  to  know  that  Brutus, 
\'Our  most  noble  ancestor  and  mine,  which  was  the  first  crowned  King- 
who  dwelt  in  this  realm  of  England,  which  of  old  times  was  called 
Great  Britain.  The  which  Brutus  begat  three  sons;  to  wit,  Albanact; 
Locrine,  and  Camber,  from  which  same  Albanact  you  are  descended  in 
direct  line.  And  the  issue  of  the  same  Camber  reigned  loyally  down  to 
Cadwalladar,  who  was  the  last  crowned  King  of  the  people,  and  from 
whom  I,  your  simple  Cousin  am  descended  in  direct  line;  and  after 
whose  decease,  I  and  my  ancestors  and  all  my  said  people  have  been 
and  still  are,  under  the  tryanny  and  bondage  of  mine  and  your  mortal 
enemies,  the  Saxons:  whereof  you  most  redoubted  Lord  and  very  Sover- 
eign Cousin,  have  good  knowledge.  And  from  this  tj^ranny  and  bond- 
age the  prophecy  saith  that  I  shall  be  delivered  by  the  help  and  succour 
of  your  Royal  Majesty.  But  most  redoubted  Lord  and  Sovereign  Cousin, 
I  make  a  grevious  plaint  to  your  Royal  Majesty,  and  most  Sovereign

Lord  and  very  Sovereign  Cousin,  I  humbly  beseech  you  kneeling  upon 
my  knees,  that  it  may  please  your  Royal  Majesty  to  send  me  a  certain 
number  of  soldiers,  who  may  aid  me  and  withstand,  with  God's  help, 
mine  and  your  enemies,  having  regard  most  redoubted  Lord  and  very 
Sovereign  Cousin  to  the  chastisement  of  this  mischief  and  of  all  the  many 
past  mischiefs  which  I  and  my  ancestors  of  Wales  have  suffered  at  the 
hands  of  mine  and  your  mortal  enemies.  And  be  it  understood,  most 
redoubted  Lord  and  very  Sovereign  Cousin  that  I  shall  not  fail  all  the

myCourt,  most  redoubted  Lord  and  very  Sovereign  Cousin,  may  the  Al- 
mighty Lord  have  j'ou  in  his  keeping." 

Written  in  North  Wales  on  the  twenty-ninth  day  of  November  (1401). 


62  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Sometime  in  the  earlj'  part  of  1402,  Owen  moved  down  the  Vale  of 
Clw3'd,  making-  a  final  clearance  of  Lord  Grey's  property,  and  descend- 
ing with  a  merciless  hand  upon  Saint  Asaph,  destro3'ing  the  cathedral, 
the  bishop's  palace  and  the  canon's  house.  Trevor  was  then  the  bishop 
and  he  had  been  friendly  to  the  English. 

About  this  time  occured  the  famous  personal  encounter  between 
Owen  and  his  cousin  Howel  Sele  the  Lord  of  Nannau.  Howel  had  not 
been  friendly  to  Owen's  cause,  but  the  latter  was  induced,  by  the  abbot 
of  Cymmer,  to  visit  him  at  Nannau,  with  the  hope  of  promoting  a  better 
understanding.  Owen  came  with  only  a  few  attendants  and  during 
the  day,  the  two  went  for  a  stroll  in  the  park,  Howel  who  was  a  cele- 
brated marksman  with  the  bow,  carried  this  weapon  with  him,  and 
Owen,  seeing  a  buck  through  the  trees  suggested  that  his  cousin  trj'^  his 
skill;  Howel  bent  his  bow  and  pretended  to  take  aim,  but  suddenly 
swung  around  and  discharged  his  arrow  full  at  Owen's  breast.  He, 
however,  had  a  coat  of  mail  beneath  his  tunic  and  the  shaft  fell  harm- 
lessly to  the  ground.  The  fate  of  Howel  was  swift  and  terrible  and 
Owen  at  once  burned  the  house  at  Nannau  to  the  ground.  It  is  said, 
that  no  one  but  Owen  and  his  companion,  Madog,  knew  of  the  exact 
vengence  meted  out  to  Howel.  He  never  returned  and  his  real  fate  was 
unknown  to  his  family  and  followers  for  many  j'^ears  afterwards.  How- 
ever, one  tempestuous  evening  in  November,  long  years  later,  a  lone 
horseman  was  seen  urging  his  flagging  steed  up  the  hights  of  Nannau, 
and  it  proved  to  be  Madog;  who  after  the  death  of  the  fiery  yet  generous 
Glyndwr,  was  hastening  to  fuUfiU  his  last  command  and  disclose  the 
resting  place  of  Howel's  remains.  He  pointed  out  a  great  hollow  oak 
tree,  which  had  been  the  last  resting  place  of  the  remains  of  the  lord  of 
Nannau.  This  tree  was  afterwards  known  as  the  "hollow  oak  of 
demons"  and  the  "Haunted  Oak".  It  fell  on  July  13,  1813  from  sheer 
age  and  measured  at  that  time  twenty-seven  feet  and  four  inches  in  cir- 
cumference. Sir  Walter  Scott  in  his  "Marmion,"  has  helped  to  immor- 
talize this  memorable  combat  between  Owen  and  Howel. 

While  these  events  were  taking  place  the  Scots  were  at  war  with 
the  English  in  the  north  and  were  confronted  bj'  Henry  Percj-,  who  was 
a  host  in  himself,  in  the  defence  of  the  English  border. 

Owen  was  having  things  about  his  own  waj'  in  Wales,  and  late  in 
May  1402,  with  a  large  force,  defeated  and  captured  Edmund  Mortimer, 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  63 

uncle  and  g-uardian  of  his  nephew,  Edmund  Mortimer,  (the  Earl  of 
March),  who  was  the  le^al  heir  to  the  English  throne.  Eleven  hundred 
English  men,  including"  g"reat  numbers  of  knights,  were  slaughtered  in 
this  battle,  which  occured  in  a  narrow  valley  below  Pilleth  Hill,  near 
Knighton.  King  Henry  refused  to  ransom  Mortimer,  which  greatly 
incensed  Henry  Percy  (Hotspur),  Mortimers  brother-in-law,  and  the 
great  Percy  left  the  Kings  presence  in  anger,  and  as  it  happened  never 
to  return. 

Owen  followed  up  the  great  victory  of  Pilleth,  and  strong  in  its 
prestige,  went  burning  and  ravaging,  fiercely  through  Glamorgan  and 
fell  upon  Cardiff,  destroying  the  whole  town  except  a  street  where  stood 
a  religious  house  of  his  friends,  the  Franciscans,  thence  he  went  to  the 
north  and  invested  the  three  great  castles  of  Carnarvon,  Harlech  and 
Criccieth.  These  events  brought  to  his  dragon  standard,  many  waver- 
ing Welshmen,  who  hitherto  had  not  heartily  welcomed  it  with  its 
accompaniment  of  flaming  torches  and  pitiless  spears. 

King  Henry  was  greatly  aroused  and  disturbed  by  Owens  achieve- 
ments; and  although  the  Scots,  with  French  allies,  were  strongly  press- 
ing his  forces  under  Henry  Percy  in  the  north  and  his  son  Prince 
Thomas,  viceroy  in  Ireland,  was  reduced  by  want  of  money,  to  sore 
straits,  he  was  bent  upon  raising  a  great  army  to  subdue  Wales.  He 
in  fact  assembled  three  great  armies,  which  on  August  27th  1402  were 
assembled  at  Chester,  Shrewsbury  and  Hereford,  under  the  commands 
of  the  Prince  of  Wales,  (the  kings  son,)  the  king  himself,  and  the  Earl 
of  Warwick,  respectively.  In  all  there  were  one  hundred  thousand  men 
and  they  crossed  the  border  into  Wales  the  first  week  in  September. 

Henry  had  learned  of  Owen's  power  of  "calling  spirits  from  the 
vasty  deep,"  to  his  aid,  and  in  less  than  a  week  he  was  convinced  that 
he  was  the  very  devil  himself.  No  one  had  ever  before  seen  such  ter- 
rible weather,  as  now  descended  upon  Henry's  troops,  and  by  Septem- 
ber 22,  1402  there  was  not  an  Englishman  in  Wales,  outside  of  the  few 
castles  which  still  remained  in  their  hands.  The  vast  army  had  been 
beaten  and  driven  out  of  Wales,  without  the  prick  of  a  single  Welsh 
spear,  or  the  flight  of  a  solitary  arrow.  Henry  Percy,  had  in  the  mean- 
time, been  fighting  the  Scots  and  had  defeated  them  in  a  great  battle 
and  captured  eighty  noblemen  and  knights,  including  the  Earl  Douglas 
himself.     King  Henry  learned  of  his  victory,  at  once  upon  his  return  in 


64  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

defeat  from  "Wales,  and  he  promptly  sent  congratulations  to  Percy,  but 
demanded  that  the  Scottish  prisoners  be  delivered  to  him.  This  order 
enraged  Hotspur  and  he  refused  to  comply. 

Soon  after  these  events  some  sort  of  an  alliance  was  formed  betw^een 
Owen  Glyndwr,  Henry  Percy  (Hotspur)  and  Edmund  Mortimer — who, 
as  will  be  recalled  was  a  prisoner  in  Owen's  hands — for  attacking 
Henry  IV.  of  England;  and  in  the  meantime  Mortimer  had  married,  in 
November  1402,  Owen's  fourth  daughter,  Jane. 

Owen,  in  the  fore  part  of  1403,  summoned  representatives  from  all 
Wales,  to  gather  for  a  parliament  at,  Machynlleth.  There  were  four 
from  each  "Cantref. "  Owen  was  by  this  assembly  crowned  the  "Prince 
of  Wales"  and  seated  on  the  throne.  The  persons  attending  this  assem- 
bly were  not  all  friends,  however,  and  there  was  at  least  one  who  went 
there  expressly  to  assassinate  Owen.  This  was  Davy  Gam,  who  at  one 
time,  had  been  a  member  of  King  Henry's  household.  His  intentions 
were  discovered  and  he  was  cast  into  a  dungeon,  where  he  remained 
many  years,  being  nevertheless  eventually  freed.  Owen  in  the  mean- 
time, however,  burned  and  destroyed  his  property. 

Owen  Glyndwr  was  now  in  actual  and  complete  possession  of  all 
Wales,  except  some  few  strong  castles  which  were  yet  held  by  the  Eng- 
lish; however  the  garrisons  of  the  castles  had  no  influence  outside.  Ow^en 
was  the  real  and  actual  ruler  in  Wales  at  this  time.  His  troops  were 
successfully  besieging  the  great  castles  of  Harlech  and  Carnarvon  and 
he  felt  sure  of  their  ultimate  fall,  and  during  the  early  summer  of  1403 
turned  his  attention  to  South  Wales,  where  he  was  engaged  against  the 
remaining  English  power  in  that  quarter,  when  in  May  1403,  Prince 
Henrj^  made  a  raid  from  Shrewsbury  and  burned  Owen's  two  mansions 
at  Glyndyfrdwy  and  Sycherth. 

Owen  was  also,  certainly,  still  busily  engaged  in  South  Wales, 
nearly  a  hundred  miles  away  from  Shrewsbury,  about  the  time  of  the 
great  battle  between  Henry  Percy  and  King  Henry,  at  that  place. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  there  had  been  an  understanding,  between  the 
Percy's  and  Owen  Gljmdwr  and  Edmund  Mortimer,  to  act  in  unison 
against  King  Henry;  but  Hotspur's  messengers  must  have  failed  to 
reach  Owen;  as  he  was  negotiating  with  Carew  of  Pembroke,  on  July 
12,  1403,  and  for  several  days  afterwards,  was  busily  engaged  before 
the  castle  of  Dynevor.     He  had  no  thought  at  that  time  of  leaving  South 


Old  I^odge  (Near  where  the  old  "Oak  of  Demons"  stood)  at 
Nannau,  near  Dolg-elly,  North  Wales.  It  was  here  that  Owen  Glyn- 
dwr  slew  Howel  Sele,  the  lord  of  Nannau,  in  their  memorable  encounter.

Wales,  and  he  certainly  knew  nothing-  of  the  impending-  battle  between 
"Hotspur"  and  Henry;  yet  he  was  likely  expecting  messages  from  Hot- 
spur, as  he  undoubtedly  contemplated  invading  England  in  conjunction 
with  the  Percys.  He  is  represented  by  some  writers,  as  being  within 
sight  of  the  battle  of  Shrewsbury  while  it  was  going-  on,  but  he  was 
certainly  far  away  in  South  Wales  at  the  time  and  in  ig-norance  of  the 
fact  that  Hotspur  so  sorely  needed  his  aid.  Hotspur  and  his  ally.  Earl 
Douglas,  with  an  army  of  15,000  men,  was  confronted  with  a  force  twice 
as  large  under  the  command  of  the  King-,  and  after  one  of  the  most  des- 
perate and  bloody  battles  that  ever  occurred  on  English  soil,  the  lion- 
hearted  Percy  was  signally  defeated  and  slain,  July  21,  1403. 

The  loss  of  the  battle  of  Shrewsbury  was  a  great  blow  to  Owen's 
cause  and  it  is  interesting  to  imagine,  how  different  the  subsequent 
history  of  Great  Britain  might  have  been,  had  Percy's  messeng-ers 
reached  Owen,  so  he  could  have  stood  with  him  at  Shrewsbury,  with 
ten  thousand  Welsh  spears. 

Anyway  by  the  time  King  Henry  was  ready  for  another  invasion  of 
Wales  in  September,  1403,  Owen  was  as  strong  as  ever,  and  had  in  the 
meantime  invaded  Herefordshire  England,  with  success.  On  the  15th  of 
September,  Henry  invaded  Wales  and  reached  Carmarthen,  but  almost 
at  once  retreated  and  returned  to  Hereford  and  thence  to  London,  having 
accomplished  nothing,  and  Owen's  troops  again  poured  over  the  borders 
into  England  and  ravaged  Herefordshire. 

The  number  of  Owen's  troops  have  been  variously  estimated.  It  is 
said  however  he  had  30,000  archers  and  spearmen  in  Carmarthen  at  one 
time.  The  Welsh  spears  were  exceptionally  long  and  his  men  of 
Merioneth,  had  an  especial  reputation  for  making  use  of  them. 

About  this  time  Owen  had  made  some  sort  of  an  alliance  with  the 
King  of  France,  and  French  troops  were  landing-  in  Wales  to  aid  him; 
but  it  was  not  until  two  years  later  that  the  greatest  French  effort  was 
made  in  his  behalf. 

Early  in  the  year  1404  Owen  finally  captured  Harlech  castle  and  it  is 
supposed  he  moved  his  familj'-  there  and  made  it  his  headquarters. 
Later  on  he  also  summoned  a  parliament  to  meet  at  Harlech.  On  July 
14th,  1404,  a  treaty  of  alliance  w^as  concluded  between  Owen  and  the  King 
of  France  and  it  was  signed  by  their  respective  ambassadors  on  that 
date.     At  this  time  Owen's  council  house  was  at  Dolgelly.     The  seal 


66  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

which  Owen  now  adopted  represents  him,  with  biforked  beard,  seated  on 
a  throne-like  chair,  holding-  a  scepter  in  his  right  hand  and  a  globe  in 
his  left.  (It  has  lately-  been  adopted  as  the  corporate  arms  of  Machynl- 
leth). 

By  the  treaty  made,  with  King  Charles  of  France,  Owen  was  recog- 
nized and  acknowledged  as  the  Prince  of  Wales,  by  the  French  King; 
and  at  the  same  time  Henry  IV.  was  designated:  Henry  of  Lancaster, 
as  Charles  did  not  recognize  him  as  the  King  of  England  and  never  had 
done  so. 

During  1404,  Owen's  forces  continued  the  sieges  of  the  castles  yet  in 
English  hands  and  ravaged  again  and  again  the  English  border  counties. 
Two  fierce  engagements  occurred  during  the  summer,  between  Owen  and 
the  Earl  of  Warwick,  at  Mynj'dd-cwm-du  and  at  Craig-y-dorth.  Owen 
was  defeated  in  the  former  and  he  himself  came  near  being  captured ; 
but  in  the  latter  battle  he  signally  defeated  the  English  and  forced  them 
back  over  the  border. 

Aberystwith  castle  had  fallen  to  Owen  during  the  year,  but  Har- 
lech was  the  seat  of  his  government  during  the  winter  of  1404 — 05.  On 
its  matchless  site,  some  of  the  ancient  British  princes  in  the  early  cen- 
turies, had  built  their  fortresses:   from  Bran  the  Blessed  to  Maelgwyn. 

With  Owen  this  winter,  there  were  no  doubt  gathered  in  majestic 
Harlech,  all  of  his  family  and  near  relatives,  including  his  son-in-law 
Edmund  Mortimer  and  his  younger  brother  Tudor  Glyndwr,  as  well 
as  his  principal  captains,  and  the  great  Bishop  Trevor,  who  had  lately 
came  over  to  his  side.  His  bards,  were  of  course,  also  there,  to  entertain 
the  distinguished  company  with  their  patriotic  songs.  Owen  Glj^ndwr 
was  now  at  the  high  tide  of  his  power  and  renown  and  it  is  well  to  state 
here,  that  to  this  day  he  is  regarded  by  the  majority  of  the  Welsh  people 
as  the  greatest  of  the  Welsh  Princes,  from  Owen  Gwyned  to  the  last 
Llewelyn. 

The  opening  of  the  spring  of  1405  was  now  at  hand  and  with  this 
season,  came  the  first  serious  reverses  to  Owen's  arms.  His  trusted  cap- 
tain, the  renowned  Khj'-s  Gethin,  with  8000  Welsh  troops,  moved  in  March 
1405,  to  the  English  border  and  attacked  Grosmont,  where  Prince  Henry 
then  was  with  a  strong  force.  The  prince  and  his  followers  sallied  forth 
from  the  castle  and  attacked  the  Welsh  and  after  a  bloody  battle  com- 
pletely routed  them,  with  a  loss  of  800  men. 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  67 

Owen,  learning  of  this  reverse  pushed  forward  fresh  forces  under 
his  brother,  (ACD  34)  Tudor  Glyndwr,  and  in  less  than  a  week  they 
met  Prince  Henry  with  a  large  force,  at  Mynydd-y-Pwll-Melyn,  in 
Brecon,  and  a  desperate  battle,  attended  with  great  slaughter  ensued, 
in  which  the  Welsh  commander,  Tudor  Glyndwr  himself,  was  slain, 
and  1500  of  his  followers  were  either  killed  or  taken  prisoners.  Tudor 
was  so  much  like  his  illustrious  brother,  in  face  and  form,  that  the 
English  at  first  thought  the  much  dreaded  elder  Glyndwr  had  fallen; 
but  the  absence  of  a  wart  under  the  left  eye,  a  distinguishing  mark  of 
Owen,  soon  disproved  their  premature  conclusion.  The  slaughter  in 
this  battle,  had  perhaps  never  before  been  exceeded  or  equalled  in  Wales. 
Owens  son  Gryff3^dd  was  also  taken  prisoner  at  this  time  and  was  sent 
to  London  and  confined  in  the  Tower,  where  a  year  later  the  young  King 
of  Scotland  was  his  companion. 

These  two  reverses  were  a  great  blow  to  Owen's  cause.  King  Henry 
however  was  kept  busy  in  the  early  summer  of  1405  by  the  Scots,  and  by 
the  Earl  of  Northumberland,  who  was  again  in  revolt,  and  who  also, 
had  been  intriguing  with  O  wen.  Furthermore  a  great  French  expedition, 
consisting  of  140  ships  and  4000  to  5000  men,  appeared  in  July  or  August 
of  this  year  and  landed  at  Milford  Haven  to  join  Owen's  fortunes,  and 
he  met  them  at  Tenby  with  10000  Welshmen  at  his  back.  The  French 
were  nominally  under  the  command  of  the  Marshal  of  France,  but  Sire 
de  Hugueville  was  the  leading  spirit. 

These  events  seemingly  made  up  for  Owen's  losses  in  the  two  engage- 
ments earlier  in  the  year. 

Owen  and  his  French  allies  at  once  invaded  England,  retaking 
Glamorgan  which  had  recently  receded  from  him,  and  also  capturing 
Carmarthen  on  the  way.  The  allies  pushed  on  through  Herefordshire 
and  reached  the  vicinity  of  the  town  of  Worcester  about  the  middle  of  Au- 
gust, where  they  encamped  on  the  summit  of  Woodbury  hill,  still  known 
as  "Owen's  camp."  Henry  IV.  with  a  large  army  met  them  here  and 
took  an  advantageous  position  on  the  northern  ridge.  Each  army  feared 
'to  attack  the  other  in  its  commanding  position  and  here,  in  the  heart  of 
England,  these  two  armies  faced  each  other  for  eight  days,  with  no 
results  except  a  few  skirmishes  in  which  some  500  men  fell.  Henry  had 
recourse  to  abundant  provisions,  but  the  Welsh  and  French  soon  ran 
short  of  supplies  and  were  thus  compelled  to  retreat.     The  English  king- 


68  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

attempted  to  follow  them,  but  they  promptly  captured  some  of  his  supplies 
and  he  then  desisted. 

During  the  next  month,  about  September  10,  1405,  Henry  again  in- 
vaded Wales,  but  was  soon  driven  out  bj'  Owen  and  his  soldiers,  with 
the  aid  of  the  elements,  having  accomplished  practically  nothing. 

All  except  some  1700  of  the  French  returned  to  their  own  country  be- 
fore Christmas,  1405,  but  Owen  was  unmolested  by  the  English  during 
that  winter  and  had,  as  before,  practically  entire  control  of  Wales.  The 
French  had  counted  on  booty  as  their  reward,  and  Owen  and  the  Welsh 
were  much  disappointed  with  the  results  of  their  expedition,  and  also 
displeased  with  their  conduct. 

In  the  meantime,  Owen  had  finally  succeeded  in  subduing  Western 
Pembroke,  known  as  "Little  England,"  and  the  earl  agreed  to  pay  him 
^200  for  a  truce  to  last  until  May  1406. 

Owen  now  again  retired  to  Harlech  castle  for  the  winter  of  1405 — 
1406. 

The  chief  event  of  the  early  part  of  1406,  was  the  signing  of  the 
"Tripartite  Indenture,"  which  has  been  attributed  by  Shakespeare 
and  others  to  an  earlier  date,  before  the  battle  of  Shrewsbury. 

Theold  Earl  of  Northumberland  (Percy),  and  Bardolph  of  Scotland, 
met  Owen  Glyndwr  and  Edmund  Mortimer  at  Aberdaron,  and  on  the 
28th  of  February  1406,  the  notable  instrument  was  signed.  By  its  terms 
thej'  were  bound  into  a  solemn  alliance  and  they  agreed  thereby,  to 
divide  the  Kingdom  of  England  and  the  Principality  of  Wales  between 
themselves.  Owen  was  to  have  Wales  with  considerable  English  terri- 
tory added,  and  Percy  and  Mortimer,  were  to  have  the  remainder  of 
England. 

Little  came  of  this  understanding,  however,  and  as  the  j^ear  1406 
advanced  Owen's  influence  and  power  seemed  to  decline.  Glamorgan 
and  Ystrad  Towi  in  the  south  and  Anglesey  in  the  north,  fell  away 
from  him,  apparently  through  weariness  of  strife  and  lack  of  provisions, 
coupled  with  the  offer  of  pardons  from  Henry  of  England.  These  de- 
fections were,  anyway,  certainly  not  due  to  pressure  of  English  arms. 

During  the  latter  part  of  1406  and  part  of  1407,  Owen  seems  to  have 
disappeared  to  some  extent  from  public  view;  however  his  family  and 
friends  were  yet   in   possession   of    Harlech   castle    and    he    also   held

Harlech  Castle. 

On  the  coast  of  Merioneth,  North  Wales. 


An  ancient  British  fortress  was  erected  on  this  site  by  the  early 
British  Kings,  but  the  castle  represented  by  the  present  grand  ruins 
was  built  by  Edward  I.,  in  1286,  and  was  seemingly  impregnable.  It  is 
of  special  interest  in  this  work  on  account  of  being  Owen  Glyndwr's 
headquarters  and  seat  of  government  for  several  years,  1404-1408,  after 
he  had  captured  it  from  the  English.  It  is  also  interesting  on  account 
of  the  fact  that  a  kinsman  of  the  Yale  ancestors,  Davyd  ap  levan  ap 
Einion,  was  in  command  of  the  foi  ce  which  successfully  held  it  for  the 
Lancastrians  against  assault,  during  the  War  of  the  Roses,  for  nine 
years,  surrendering  finally  on  honorable  terms  in  1468.  In  response  to 
the  demand  of  the  Earl  of  Pembroke  for  its  surrender,  when  he  invested 
it,  Davyd  said:  "I  held  a  castle  in  France  until  all  the  old  women  in 
Wales  heard  of  it,  and  now  I  will  hold  this  Welsh  Tower  till  all  the 
old  women  of  PVance  hear  of  it."  The  "March  of  the  Men  of  Harlech" 
commemorates  this  event. 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  69 

Aberystwith  castle,  with  a  strong-  force,  and  sometime  during  1407  he 
made  a  raid  through  Pembroke. 

A  great  attempt  was  made  by  the  English  in  the  early  fall  of  1407 
against  Aberystwith  castle.  About  all  the  great  English  leaders  as- 
sembled there,  including  Prince  Henry,  the  Duke  of  York  and  the  Earl 
of  Warwick;  as  well  as  many  other  notable  commanders  and  thousands 
of  knights  and  men  at  arms.  They  brought  with  them  engines  of  war 
of  every  then  known  kind,  including  the  "King's  cannon"  which 
weighed  four  and  one-half  tons.  But  they  were  powerless  against  the 
great  castle  and  the  brave  Welshmen  commanded  by  Owen's  lieutenant, 
Rhys  ap  Griffith  ap  Llewelyn.  Provisions  ran  low,  however,  and  in 
September,  a  truce  was  agreed  upon  until  November  1st  (1407).  when 
the  Welshmen  were  to  deliver  up  the  castle,  unless  Glyndwr  in  the 
meantime  should  appear  and  relieve  it.  Thereupon  Prince  Henry  and 
his  nobles  returned  to  England,  leaving  a  force  of  500  soldiers  on  guard. 

During  October,  just  at  the  right  time,  Owen  appeared  upon  the 
scene  and  went  into  the  castle  with  a  fresh  force,  and  remained  in  pos- 
session of  the  west  coast  and  its  castles  during  the  winter  of  1407-1408. 

The  summer  of  1408  fou«d  Owen  still  active  and  formidable,  but  in 
this  year  Prince  Henry  renewed  the  sieges  of  both  Aber3^stwith 
and  Harlech  and  they  both  fell  to  the  English  during  the  winter  of  1408- 
1409,  after  prolonged  and  desperate  resistance;  being  in  fact  starved 
into  submission. 

By  the  fall  of  Harlech  castle,  Owen's  wife  and  practically  all  of 
his  family,  with  the  exception  of  three  married  daughters  then  in  En- 
gland, fell  into  the  hands  of  the  English  and  were  taken  to  London. 
Edmund  Mortimer,  his  son-in-law  and  a  member  of  the  Royal  family 
of  England,  had  however  died  during  the  siege.  Owen  himself  es- 
caped, doubtless  still  hoping  to  retrieve  his  losses  and  rescue  his  family. 
He  held  for  a  time  some  castles  and  strongholds  in  the  Snowdon  moun- 
tains, but  his  sway  was  now  practicallj'  at  its  end,  and  after  some 
desultory  skirmishes  it  reached  a  final  close.  Numbers  of  his  brave 
commanders  in  English  hands  were  executed,  including  Rhys  and 
W^illiam  Tudor,  who  were  thus  disposed  of  at  Chester. 

Owen  Glyndwr's  career  having  reached  its  melancholy  finale  he 
retired  from  public  view.  He  was  offered  a  pardon  by  Henry  V.,  who 
had  succeeded  his  father  on  the  English  throne,  but  the  proud  old  hero 


70  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

seems  to  have  refused  to  accept  it  and  after  living-  some  years  in  seclu- 
sion, he  finally  died  in  peace  in  the  year  1416,  at  the  home  of  his  daughter 
at  Monnington  in  Herefordshire,  England,  and  his  body  v^^as  interred  at 
Monnington  church. 

Owen  had  accomplished  much,  yet  in  the  end  the  rev^ard  was  bitter 
failure  for  his  cherished,  patriotic  aspirations,  and  a  devastated  and 
ruined  country,  which  required  many  years  for  its  up-building  and 
recovery,  from  the  desperate,  bloody,  strife,  of  nearly  a  decade.  He 
was  the  absolute  and  almost  undisputed  ruler  and  monarch  of  all  of 
Wales,  except  a  few  castles,  for  about  seven  years;  and  for  nearly  ten 
years  he  had  successfully  conducted  a  war,  with  a  power  vastly  supe- 
rior in  resources  of  wealth  and  men,  and  in  fact  one  of  the  very  g-reatest 
powers  of  the  world  at  that  time,  as  it  is  now;  and  moreover  the  terri- 
tory for  which  he  was  contending  was  contiguous  to  this  great  power 
and  therefore  within  striking  distance. 

This  was  the  last  attempt,  the  last  struggle,  for  Welsh  indepen- 
dence. From  its  close,  Wales  has  remained  absolutely,  if  not  always 
passively,  under  the  government  of  the  throne  of  England.  Welsh  pride 
and  Welsh  ideals  were  however  in  a  great  measure  satisfied,  when  a 
King  of  Welsh  princely  blood  ascended  the  throne  of  England,  in  the 
person  of  Henry  VII.,  the  first  ruler  of  the  Tudor  dynasty,  to  which  we 
have  heretofore  referred  in  the  preceding-  pag-es. 

In  concluding  this  brief  history  of  Wales  it  seems  desirable  to  refer 
more  particularly  to  some  of  the  places  where  these  Welsh  Kings  and 
Princes  lived,  and  also  where  some  of  the  principal  events  occurred. 

Plates  and  special  remarks  are  presented  herein,  of  The  Town  of 
Llangollen,  Castle  Dinas  Bran,  Aberj^stwilh  Castle,  Harlech  Castle, 
Sycherth,  Carew  Castle  and  Pembroke  Castle  and  of  other  places  as 
well,  of  which  no  further  description  seems  required;  but  there  are  other 
places  of  perhaps  equal  interest,  among  which  are  the  following: 

Rhuddlan  Castle,  North  Wales,  as  it  now  stands,  represents  the 
great  stronghold  built  by  Edward  I.;  but  an  earlier  stronghold  was 
built  and  occupied  on  this  site  by  Llewelyn  ab  Seisyllt,  Prince  of 
Wales,  and  his  son.  There  was  also  an  earlier  Welsh  castle  built 
by  former  Welsh  Princes,  on  a  mount  called  Tuthill,  a  furlong  south  of 
the  castle. 

Mold  and  Caergwrle  (Hope)  castles,  and  also  a  fortified  Tower  near 


OWEN  GLYNDWR  71 

Mold,  North  Wales,  were  frequently  the  scenes  of  British  and  En^'-lish 
engagements.  Mold  was  razed  by  Prince  Owain  Gwyned  in  1144,  but 
was  rebuilt  and  afterwards  was  taken  and  retaken  in  the  struggles  of 
the  Welsh  and  English. 

Hawarden  Castle,  North  Wales,  was  stormed  and  taken  by  Prince 
Davyd,  brother  of  the  last  Prince  of  Wales,  Lleweljm,  in  1281,  near  the 
close  of  their  iinal  struggle  with  the  English.  Llewelyn  and  Simon  de 
Montfort  signed  their  memorable  compact  here. 

Denbigh  Castle  stands  on  the  site  of  an  earlier  Welsh  castle,  held 
by  Prince  Davyd,  as  lord  of  Denbigh,  when  his  brother  Llewelyn  was 
Prince  of  Wales. 

Dolbadarn  Castle  in  Snowdonia,  North  Wales,  was  one  of  a  number 
of  fortresses  built  and  maintained  in  the  passes  of  the  Snowdon  moun- 
tains, by  the  ancient  British  or  Welsh  kings  and  princes,  and  proved 
for  many  centuries,  safe  retreats,  when  they  were  from  time  to  time, 
driven  by  their  enimies  from  the  more  accessible  places.  It  is  said  to 
be  one  of  the  first  of  Welsh  castles,  and  it  is  certainly  very  old;  it  is 
doubtful  whether  it  was  built  before,  or  after  Roman  times  in  Britain. 

Dynevor  (Dinefwr)  Castle,  in  Carmarthen,  South  Wales,  stands 
where  an  earlier  Welsh  castle  was  built  by  Rhodri  Mawr  (Roderick  the 
Great),  for  his  son  Cadell,  Prince  of  South  Wales,  whose  successors 
later  on  moved  the  seat  of  government  to  Carmarthen  castle,  which  for 
many  years  was  the  headquarters  of  these  Princes  and  their  descend- 
ants. 

Cardigan  Castle,  with  Cardiganshire  and  other  territories,  belonged 
for  many  years  to  Prince  Rhys,  grandson  of  Rhj's  ab  Tewdwr,  and 
Prince  Rhys'  son  Griffith. 

Tenby  Castle  and  the  great  walls  surrounding  the  town,  in  Pem- 
brokeshire, were  built  by  the  Flemings,  under  the  command  of  Gerald 
de  Windsor,  Governor  of  Pembroke. 

Many  other  places  and  castles,  which  were  associated  with  early 
Welsh  history,  could  be  referred  to  with  interest,  but  space  which 
should  perhaps  properly  be  assigned  to  such  matters,  in  a  work  of  this 
kind,  has  already  been  much  enlarged,  and  the  author  feels  that  he 
must  be  content  with  the  foregoing.

The  Direct  Male  Line. 


L 
DOMINUS  OTHO. 

He  is  supposed  to  have  been  a  member  of  the  family  of  Gherardini 
of  Florence,  Italy;  and  this  is  seemingly  confirmed  by  the  Latin  form  of 
the  name,  "Geraldini,"  assumed  by  the  descendants;  in  any  event  he 
was  a  nobleman  and  came  from  Florence.  This  noble  passed  over  into 
Normandy  and  thence  into  England,  in  1057,  w^here  he  became  so  great 
a  favorite  of  King  Edv^^ard,  the  Confessor,  that  he  excited  the  jealous}'- 
of  the  Saxon  thanes. 

His  English  possessions  were  enormous  and  at  his  death  they 
devolved  upon  his  son,  Walter  Fitz  Otho. 

2. 
WALTER.  FITZ  OTHO. 

After  the  Conquest  in  1066,  he  was  treated  by  the  Normans  as  one 
of  their  fellow-countrj^men,  a  fact  which  seems  somewhat  remarkable, 
and  he  was  mentioned  in  the  Doomsday  Book  as  being  in  possession  of 
his  father's  estates  in  1078.  He  was  Castellan  of  Windsor  and  Warden 
of  the  forests  in  county  of  Berks. 

This  fortunate  heir  put  the  cope-stone  to  his  prosperity,  by  marriage 
with  Gladj^s,  the  daughter  of  Rhiwallon  ap  Cj'nf}^,  Prince  of  North 
Wales,  by  whom  he  was  father  of  three  sons,  namely: 

Gerald  Fitz  Walter  (Gerald  de  Windsor),  the  eldest  son  and  suc- 
cessor. 

Robert  de  Windsor,  Baron  of  Eston. 

William  de  Windsor,  Ancestor  of  the  Barons  of  Windsor  and  Earls 
of  Plymouth,  also  of  the  Marquess  of  Lansdowne.

GERALD  FITZ  WALTER  (Gerald  de  Windsor). 

The  principal  recorded  events  of  his  career  are  given  in  connection 
with  the  history  of  "Wales  in  this  w^ork,  as  he  took  a  prominent  part  in 
the  Norman  invasion  of  that  principality.  Through  his  wife  Nesta, 
daughter  of  Rhys  ap  Tewdwr,  Prince  of  South  Wales,  who  as  we  have 
seen  was  dramatically  abducted  by  Owain  ab  Cadwgan,  he  came  into 
possession  of  Carew  castle  and  other  properties  in  South  Wales.  He 
was  also  for  many  years  the  Governor  of  Pembroke  castle,  Pembroke- 
shire, "Little  England  beyond  Wales,"  where  a  colony  of  Flemings 
settled  and  under  his  leadership,  successfully  resisted  the  onslaughts  of 
the  Welsh.  The  Flemings  under  Gerald's  direction  fortified  Tenby  in 
Pembrokeshire,  building  walls  of  great  strength  and  heighth  around 
the  town  and  also  a  strong  and  magnificent  castle.  Under  his  guidance 
they  also  fortified  other  towns  and  strongholds  in  that  section  of  Wales, 
making  Pembrokeshire,  in  fact,  almost  impregnable  against  the  mili- 
tary genius  of  the  times. 

Nesta,  the  wife  of  Gerald,  was  even  more  famous  than  he.  She  was 
a  descendant,  through  her  father  Rhys  ap  Tudor,  (or  Tewdwr)  of  the 
long  line  of  kings  and  princes  who  had  ruled  over  Britain  and  Wales 
for  many  centuries,  and  was  said  to  have  been  the  most  beautiful  wo- 
man of  her  time,  being  called  the  "Helen  of  Wales."  She  was  mistress 
of  Henry  I.,  King  of  England,  and  her  sons  by  him  were  named  Fitz 
Henry.  Henry  seems  to  have  put  her  aside,  perhaps  for  political  reas- 
ons, for  Matilda,  the  daughter  of  Malcolm,  King  of  Scotland;  and  she 
then  married  Gerald  de  Windsor.  Anyway  the  settlement  of  affairs 
between  herself  and  Henry  must  have  been  mutually  agreeable,  as  it  is 
well  known  that  her  husband  Gerald,  was  a  staunch  friend  of  the 
English  King  for  many  years  after  he  married  Nesta. 

Gerald  and  Nesta  had  three  sons,  namely: 

Maurice  Fitz  Gerald,  Lord  of  Maynooth  and  heir  to  his  father's 
estates.  Ancestor  of  the  Dukes  of  Leinster,  Earls  of  Kildare  and  other 
noble  families. 

William  Fitz  Gerald.     Ancestor  of  the  great  noble  family  of  Carew, 


74  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

represented  by  the  Barons  and  Knig-hts  of  Carew;  also  of  the  barons  of 
Gerard,  and  of  the  Fitz  Maurice's. 

David  Fitz  Gerald.     The  Bishop  of  St.  David's,  who  died  in  1176. 

They  also  had  a  daughter, 

Ang-harad,  who  married  William  de  Barri  and  was  the  mother  of 
Gerald  de  Barri  (Giraldus  Cambrensis),the  noted  British  historian. 

After  the  death  of  Gerald  de  Windsor,  Nesta  married  Stephen  the 
Castellan  and  by  him  was  mother  of  Robert  Fitz  Stephen,  who  was 
associated  with  his  brother,  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald,  in  leading  the  first 
invasion  of  Ireland,  in  the  Norman  conquest,  in  1169. 

Nesta  was  certainly  one  of  the  most  noted  women  of  her  time,  and 
she  was  as  we  have  stated,  the  maternal  ancestor  of  a  number  of  the 
greatest  families  of  England,  Ireland  and  Wales. 

4. 

MAURICE  FITZ  GERALD 

The  name  of  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald  is  indelibly  and  prominently 
associated  with  the  Norman  conquest  of  Ireland  and  he  was  the  patriarch 
of  the  Irish  Geraldines  and  the  ancestor  of  the  Dukes  of  Leinster,  Earls 
of  Kildare  and  other  noble  families,  representing- Ireland's  most  promi- 
nent nobility.  In  1168,  Dermot  MacMurroug-h,  King  of  Leinster,  hav- 
ing been  driven  from  his  territory  by  Roderick  O'Connor,  sought  aid 
from  the  English,  and  succeeded  in  enlisting  in  his  cause  Richard  de 
Clare,  the  second  Earl  of  Pembroke,  also  called  "Richard  Strongbow." 
Dermot,  having  concluded  his  arrangements  with  Richard,  started  on  his 
return  to  Ireland;  it  being  understood  that  the  latter  was  to  follow  as 
soon  as  he  could  collect  his  forces.  Having  reached  St.  Davids,  Wales, 
on  his  return  journey,  Dermot  was  kindly  received  by  David  Fitz  Ger- 
ald, the  Bishop,  and  at  the  prelate's  suggestion,  his  brother  Maurice 
Fitz  Gerald  and  his  half  brother  Robert  Fitz  Stephen,  engaged  to  as- 
sist the  Irish  King  with  their  forces;  and  in  May,  1169,  Maurice  and 
Robert  embarked  with  a  small  body  of  soldiers  in  two  ships.  They 
first  captured  Wrexford,  with  which  lordship  Maurice  was  invested, 
and  then  they  marched  forward  and  took  Dublin. 

Strongbow  did  not  land  in  Ireland  and  join  Maurice  and  Robert 
until  in  August  1170,  thus  it  will  be  noted,  that  to  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald 


GENEALOGY  OF  THE  ANCIENT  YALES  75 

and  his  half  brother  Robert  Fitz  Stephen,  belong-s  the  honor  of  leading 
the  first  of  these  Norman  expeditions  to  Ireland,  more  than  a  year  in 
advance  of  Richard  de  Clare. 

In  1171  Maurice  and  Strong-bow,  with  a  force  of  only  600  men,  were 
beleaguered  in  Dublin,  by  30000  Irish  under  Roderick  the  Irish  King, 
who  was  also  assisted  by  a  blockading  fleet  of  30  Manx  vessels. 

In  this  desperate  emergency,  through  Maurice's  earnest  advice 
and  inspiriting  exhortations,  the  garrison  resolved  to  sally  forth  and 
attack  the  enemy.  The  bold  exploit  was  crowned  with  success;  the 
Irish  were  completely  defeated,  and  Roderick  made  his  escape  with 
difficulty. 

Maurice  Fitz  Gerald  married  Alice,  daughter  of  Arnulf  de  Mont- 
gomery, who  was  son  of  Roger  de  Montgomery,  the  greatest  of  the  Nor- 
man lords  and  the  foremost  among  the  Norman  leaders,  next  to  William 
the  Conqueror  himself. 

Maurice  died  in  1177  at  Wrexford  and  was  buried  in  the  Abbey  of 
Grey  Friars,  outside  the  walls  of  the  town. 

By  his  wife  Alice  he  left  five  sons  among  whom  were:  William 
Fitz  Maurice,  Baron  of  Naas;  Gerald  Fitz  Maurice,  Baron  of  Offaly; 
Thomas  Fitz  Maurice,  ancestor  of  the  Earls  of  Desmond  and  Decies. 

5. 

THOMAS  FITZ  MAURICE  (Fitz  Gerald). 

He  was  the  third  son  of  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald,  by  his  wife  Alice. 
Thomas  Fitz  Maurice  left  a  son:  John  Fitz  Thomas  (Fitz  Gerald), 
Lord  of  Decies  and  Desmond. 

6. 

JOHN  FITZ  THOMAS  (Fitz  Gerald). 

He  was  Lord  of  Decies  and  Desmond  and  a  Count  Palatine  in  the 
year  1259.  By  virtue  of  the  latter  roj^al  position,  he  created  three  of 
his  sons  by  his  second  wife  Honora,  hereditary  knights;  and  thus 
originated  the  titles  of  the  "White  Knight,"  the  "Knight  of  Glyn"  and 
the  "Knight  of  Kerry." 

He  also  was  father  of  a    son    by  his   first    wife,  who   was   called, 


76  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

OSBORN  FiTZ  Gerald.     This  son  was  also  denominated  by  the  Welsh 
heralds,  Osborn  Wj^ddel  (Osborn,  the  Irishman). 

7. 

OSBORN  FITZ  GERALD  (Osbwrn,  or  Osbern,  Wyddel). 

As  has  been  stated  Osborn  was  a  son  of  John  Fitz  Thomas-Fitz 
Gerald.  Lord  of  Decies  and  Desmond,  by  his  first  wife.  He  left  Ireland, 
his  native  country,  about  the  j^ear  1260,  and  went  to  Wales,  where  he 
obtained  extensive  possessions,  by  grant  or  marriage,  or  by  both,  in  Co. 
Merioneth  in  North  Wales,  including  the  site  of  the  present  mansion  of 
Cors-y-Gedol. 

As  we  have  seen,  Osborn' s  ancestors  had  formerly  lived  in  Wales 
and  were  closely  and  highly  associated  with  the  national  affairs  of  the 
principality.  His  great-great-great-grandmother  Gladys,  and  his  great, 
great-grandmother  Nesta,  were  Welsh  princesses,  while  his  great-grand- 
mother Alice  was  granddaughter  of  the  greatest  of  the  Norman  lords. 

Also,  as  we  have  seen,  his  great-grandfather,  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald, 
was  the  leader  of  the  first  successful  Norman  invasion  of  Ireland. 

Truly  the  greatness  of  his  ancestry  was  all  that  could  be  desired 
and  it  is  evident  that  he  was  no  stranger  to  Wales,  or  to  Welsh  affairs, 
when  he  emigrated  therefrom  Ireland.  He  was  the  ancestor  of  the  Yales 
in  the  direct  male  line  and  he  was  certainly  living  in  Co.  Merioneth  in 
1293,  as  he  was  assessed  in  that  year,  in  the  parish  of  Llanaber,  to- 
wards the  tax  of  a  Fifteenth.     He  had  a  son;  Cyxrik  ap  Osborn. 

8. 

CYNRIK  AP  OSBORN. 

On  the  division  of  his  father's  lands,  he,  according  to  the  custom  of 
gavelkind,  then  prevalent  in  Wales,  inherited  Cors-y-Gedol  as  a  portion 
of  his  share.     He  w^as  father  of:      Llewelyn  ap  Cynrik.

Aberystwith  Castlp:. 

On  the  coast  of  Cardiganshire,   Wales. 


This  great  castle  was  taken  and  re-taken  by  Llewelyn  ap  lorwerth, 
and  in  after  years,  Owen  Glyndwr  took  it  and  held  it  for  some  time. 
It  was  a  grand  example  of  the  great  castles  of  the  times

of  Dolgoch,  in  the  parish  of  Towyn,  and  of  Ynys-y-Maengwyn,  Co.

rived from  Madoc,  son  of  Cadivor  ap  Gwaethvoed,  Lord  of  Cardigan. 
By  this  lady  Llewelyn  had  an  eldest  son,  Griffith  ap  Llewelyn.

JOHN  YALE  (Also  called  John  Wyn  or  Wynn). 

John  Yale  was,  as  has  been  noted,  the  eldest  son  of  David  Lloyd 
ap  Ellis.  He  inheirted  Plas-yn-Yale  from  his  father  and  was  the 
ancestor  of  the  Yale's  of  Plas-yn-Yale,  and  also  of  the  Yale's  of 
Plas  Grono.  He  married  first,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Thomas  Mostyn, 
of  Mostyn,  co.  Flint.  By  her  he  had  a  son  and  a  daughter,  namely: 
Thomas  Yale,  who  succeeded  to  Plas-yn-Yale  and  continued  that  line 
of  Yales;  and  Jane  Yale,  who  married  Joseph  Haynes. 

John  Yale  was  also  father  of  another  son,  by  Agnes,  daughter  of 
John  Lloyd,  who  was  named  David  Lloyd,  D.  C.  L.  (Dr.  David  Yale), 
who  married  Frances,  daughter  of  John  Lloyd  D.  C.  L.  David  Lloyd 
D.  C.  L.,  or  Dr.  David  Yale,  as  he  was  called  later  on,  was  the  ancestor 
of  the  Yales  of  Plas  Grono  and  therefore  of  the  Yales  in  America. 

"Powys  Fadog'"  (vol.  five  note  on  P.  139)  is  the  authority  for  the 
above  statements  relative  to  the  parentage  of  David  Lloyd  D.  C.  L.  (Dr. 
David  Yale)  and  of  his  marriage  to  Frances  daughter  of  John  Lloyd  D. 
C.  L. 

The  matter  referred  to  in  "Powys  Fadog"  was  taken  from  "Cae 
Cyriog' '  Mss.  and  certainly  such  authority  cannot  be  questioned.  There 
is  other  ample  and  indisputable  evidence  in  "A  History  of  the  Country 
Townships  of  the  Old  Parish  of  Wrexham,  1903"  by  Alfred  Neobard 
Palmer,  to  prove  positively  that  David  Lloyd  D.  C.  L.,  was  no  other 
than  Dr.  David  Yale,  and  it  is  not  at  all  strange  that  he  was  first  called 
Lloyd,  as  surnames  were  notoriously  unsettled  in  Wales  at  that  time, 
as  they  had  been  for  a  long  time  previously  and  were  for  some  years 
later.  The  preceding  pedigree  shows  how  unsettled  the  names  were 
among  his  ancestors. 

I  have  gone  into  the  matter  of  Dr.  David  Yale's  connections  at  some 
length,  as  the  most  of  the  former  printed  pedigrees  of  the  Yales,  do  not

GENEALOGY  OF  THE  ANCIENT  YALES  81 

explain  definitely,  if  at  all,  how  the  Yales   of    Plas-yn-Yale    and    the 
Yales  of  Plas  Grono  were  related. 


We  have  now  broug-ht  the  Genealogy  of  the  Yales  in  the  male  line, 
from  Dominus  Otho  down  to  and  including  John  Yale  (also  known  as 
John  Wyn  or  Wynn),  where  the  family  lines  of  the  Yales  of  Plas-yn- 
Yale  and  the  Yales  of  Plas  Grono  (and  of  America),  divide;  and  we 
have  also  given,  in  the  history  of  Wales,  about  all  that  is  known  of  the 
principal  events  in  the  lives  of  the  most  noted  ancestors  on  the  maternal 
side,  except  the  ancestors  of  Alice  de  Montgomery,  who  became  the  wife 
of  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald;  and  before  proceeding  withtheline  of  the  Yales 
of  Plas  Grono  and  of  America,  which  begins  with  Dr.  David  Yale,  I 
think  it  well  to  give  here  a  brief  pedigree  of  the  persons  associated  with 
Plas-yn-Yale,  from  John  Yale  (or  Wynn)  down  to  the  present  time. 
And  as  events  in  the  lives  of  the  illustrious  de  Montgomerys  by  all 
means  must  have  a  place,  I  will  follow  the  notes  on  the  Yales  of  Plas-yn- 
Yale,  with  a  brief  account  of  their  careers. 

The  Pedigree  in  the  forepart  of  the  work  will  enable  the  reader  to 
clearly  understand  the  connections  and  descent. 


The  Yales  of  Plas-yn-Yale.

The  House  of  de  Montgomery. 


E  2. 
ROGER  DE  MONTGOMERY . 

Earl  of  Shrewsbury,  Chichester  and  Arundel. 

He  was  son  of  Roger  the  Great,  who  w^as  cousin  of  William  the  Con- 
queror, and  an  exile  at  Paris  in  1035.  (E  1)  Roger  the  Great  accordingly 
was  of  the  same  family  as  William  the  Conqueror,  and  was  also  cousin 
of  Ralph  de  Mortimer  and  William  Fitz  Osbern. 

Roger  de  Montgomery  was  lord  of  Montgomery  in  Normandy,  and 
by  his  marriage  to  Mabel,  daughter  of  William  Talvas  of  Belleme, 
Alencon   and  Seez,  he  became  the  greatest  of  the  Norman  lords. 

He  was  a  supporter  of  William  the  Conqueror,  his  kinsman,  fought 
with  him  at  Domfront,  Normandy  in  1048,  and  in  1066  contributed  60 
ships  for  the  Norman  invasion  of  England.  At  the  great  battle  of  Hastings 
(Senlac)  England,  Oct.  14  1066,  at  which  William  the  Conqueror  won 
the  English  crown,  Roger  commanded  the  Norman  right  and  particularly 


HOUSE  OF  DE  MONTGOMERY  83 

disting-uished  himself,  by  his  valor  in  killing-  an  Eng-lish  g-iant.  He  is 
said  by  Freeman  in  his  "JSorman  Conquest,"  to  have  been  "literally 
foremost  among-  the  conquerors  of  Eng-land." 

He  returned  to  Normandy  in  1067  and  jointly  with  Matilda,  the  wife 
of  William  the  Conqueror,  was  g-uardian  of  the  Duchy,  in  William's 
absence. 

Later  he  returned  to  Eng-land  and  was  made  Earl  of  Shrewsbury 
in  1071,  and  also  became  Earl  of  Chichester  and  Arundel.  The  title 
and  rank  of  Earl  was  the  highest  in  Eng-land  from  1066  for  about  300 
years  and  during-  William  the  Conqueror's  reig-n  there  were  only  six  earls. 
He  built  a  g-reat  castle  at  Shrewsbury,  parts  of  which  still  remain. 
He  also  built  other  castles  on  the  Welsh  border  and  one  in  Montg-omery, 
Wales,  in  1093.  Montg-omeryshire  in  that  principality  was  named  after 
him. 

He  founded  Shrewsbury  Abbey  of  St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul,  1083-1087, 
and  richly  endowed  it.     It  was  a  grand  edifice  of  great  extent. 

He  secretly  supported  Robert  against  King  William  Rufus,  but 
later  sided  with  the  latter  and  fought  with  him  at  Rochester  in  1088. 

By  his  wife  Mabel  he  was  father  of  five  sons:  Robert,  Hugh,  Roger, 
Philip  and  Arnulf.     He  also  had  four  daughters. 

He  died  July  27, 1093,  and  was  interred  in  the  Abbey  at  Shrewsbury. 

Roger  de  Montgomery  was  not  only  the  greatest  of  the  Norman  lords 
in  prestige  and  position  and  the  foremost  of  the  Norman  leaders,  next 
to  William  the  Conqueror  himself,  but  he  was  also  great  in  his  piety,  as 
is  evidenced  by  his  founding  and  rich  endowment  of  Shrewsbury  Abbey 
and  his  liberal  benefactions  to  the  monks. 


E  3. 
ARNULF  (Arnulph)  DE  MONTGOMERY. 

Earl  of  Pembroke  (Fl.  1110) 

He  was  fifth  son  of  Roger  de  Montgomery  and  took  a  prominent 
part  in  the  Norman  invasion  of  Wales,  as  has  been  noted  in  the  history 
of  the  principality  given  herein.  He  built  Pembroke  Castle  about  1093, 
and  as  has  been  set  forth  in  the  history  of  the  Wales,  he  was  in  league 
with  some  of  the  Welsh  princes  in  favor  of  Robert  Duke  of  Normandy, 
in  his  attempt  to  remove  his  brother  King  Henry  (Beauclare)  from  the 


84  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

English  throne.  About  this  time  Arnulf  entered  into  an  alliance  with 
Muircertach,  King-  of  Munster,  Ireland,  who  gave  him  his  daughter  in 
marriage  and  promised  to  make  him  his  successor.  The  attempt  to  de* 
pose  King  Henry  was  however,  unsuccessful,  and  Arnulf  went  to  the 
court  of  Muircertach  for  assistance,  which  he  was  unable  to  give;  and 
in  fact  he  expected  aid  from  his  son-in-law  against  Magnus,  the  Danish 
King.  Later  on,  in  1102,  Muircertach  courted  the  favor  of  King  Henry 
and  took  back  his  daughter  from  Arnulf  and  gave  her  to  another  man, 
and  even  plotted  against  his  life.  (Britannica,  Volume  XIII.  page  254 
ninth  edition). 

It  is  also  stated  (Die.  Nat.  Biog.  XL IX.  103)  that  Arnulf  married, 
after  much  negotiation,  the  daughter  of  Murchadh,  King  of  Leinster, 
Ireland,  and  died  next  day. 

His  daughter,  Alice  de  Montgomery',  became,  as  has  been  stated 
heretofore,  the  wife  of  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald. 


Arms  and  Crests. 


The  use  of  the  Coat  of  Arms  first  became  general  in  the  twelfth 
century.  The  first  known  tomb  or  monument  bearing  escutcheons,  in 
the  period  of  modern  history,  is  said  to  be  the  eleventh  century  tomb 
in  the  Church  of  St.  Emmeran  at  Ratisbon;  which  bears  the  Arm.s 
of  Varmond,  a  count  of  Vasserburg.  Badges,  emblems  and  ensigns 
were  in  use  in  much  earlier  times,  among  the  Israelites,  Greeks  and 
Romans;  but  there  seems  to  be  no  connecting  link,  between  these  more 
ancient  devices  and  the  more  modern  devices  and  the  more  modern  use 
of  heraldic  emblems  of  the  middle  ages. 

Heraldic  designs  were  used  as  distinguishing  emblems  on  the  armor 
of  knights  and  nobles,  in  the  eleventh  century,  so  that  they  might  be 
known  to  each  other  in  battle;  but  as  stated,  they  did  not  come  into 
extended  use  until  the  twelfth  century ;  when  it  became  the  duty  of  the 
aged  knights,  appointed  for  the  purpose,  to  pass  judgment  on  the  coats 
of  arms  displayed  and  the  right  of  knighthood,  at  the  tournaments. 
This  practice  developed  the  professional  and  official  heralds.

ARMS  AND  CRESTS  SB 

The  escutcheon,  or  shield,  is  the  most  important  in  the  arms,  and 
next  in  importance  are  the  stripes  on  same.  Each  of  the  various  devices 
have  some  sort  of  significance. 

The  Arms  and  Crest  of  Yale  (Coat  of  Arms)  are  undoubtedly  almost 
as  ancient  as  heraldry  itself,  as  the  emblem  illustrated  in  the  colored 
plate,  herewith,  is  essentially  the  same  as  the  Arms  and  Crest  of  the 
family  of  John  Fitz  Thomas  (Fitz  Gerald),  who  was  Lord  of  Decies  and 
Desmond  and  Count  Palatine  in  1259.  His  family  Arms  and  Crest 
included  the  Ermine  shield,  with  the  red  St.  Andrews  cross,  and  the 
wild  boar.  Also  the  shield  and  the  red  St.  Andrews  cross,  are  incor- 
porated in  the  Arms  of  the  Dukes  of  Leinster  and  other  descendants  of  the 
notable  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald,  who  died  in  1177.  In  fact  the  arms  of 
practically  all  of  the  "Geraldines,"  (descendants  of  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald 
and  of  Gerald  de  Windsor),  include  the  shield  with  the  red  St.  Andrews 
cross,  and  the  most  of  them  have  the  ermine  field. 

The  Yale  Coat  of  Arms,  was  therefore,  derived  from  the  Fitz  Geralds 
and  handed  down  through  the  direct  male  line,  from  Osborn  Fitz  Gerald 
(Osbwrn  Wyddel). 

The  Arms  of  Yale  shown  by  the  plate  are  the  Arms  of  the  Yales  of 
Plas  Grono,  the  ancestors  of  the  Yales  in  America,  and  practically 
differ  from  the  Arms  of  the  Yales  of  Plas  yn  Yale  only  in  the 
"fretty,"  or  lattice  work  of  gold,  which  appears  on  the  Arms  of  the  lat- 
ter. The  wild  boar  in  a  gold  net  on  a  green  mount,  with  an  acorn  slip 
in  his  mouth,  is  represented  in  the  crest  of  each;  but  the  chapeau,  a 
military  or  official  cap  or  hat,  seems  to  have  been  added  at  some  time, 
by  some  member  of  the  family  of  Yales  of  Plas  Grono. 

The  Arms  and  Crest  shown  in  the  plate  are  technically  described 
as  follows: 

Arms: — Erm,  (ermine)  a  saltire  gu.    (A  red  St.  Andrews  cross). 

Crest: — A  mount  (hillock)  vert  (green),  i/iereon  a  boar  az.  (blue), 
within  a  net  or.  (gold),  in  the  tnouih  an  acorri  slipped  ppr.  [natural 
colors). 

The  ermine  represents  the  fur  of  a  small  white  animal,  a  native  of 
Armenia,  and  the  marks  on  same  are  supposed  to  represent  the  tails  of 
the  animals,  sewed  to  the  fur  for  its  enrichment.  Ermine  is  an  especial 
mark  of  dignity  and  has  long  been  associated  with  royalty  and  the 
nobility. 


86  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

The  St.  Andrews  cross  is  a  sj^mbol  of  resolution,  while  the  red 
denotes  military  fortitude  and  mag-nanimity. 

The  wild  boar  is  a  fierce  combatant  and  may  be  considered  to  rep- 
resent a  valiant  warrior.  Blue  may  have  a  religious  sig^nificance  and 
possibly  originated  in  the  Crusades.  The  acorn  slip  sig^nifies  strength 
and  antiquity;  while  the  golden  net  indicates  that  a  g-reat  warrior  fin- 
ally succumbed  to  pacific  influences. 

The  chapeau  denotes  military  authority. 

Crests  were  ancientU^  affixed  to  the  helmets  of  the  commanders  for 
their  distinction  in  battle  and  were  in  use  before  the  heriditary  bearing- 
of  coat  armour,  and  they  were  not  considered  in  any  w^ay  connected 
with  family  arms,  until  by  enactment  of  Edward  III.,  in  the  fourteenth 
century. 

The  use  of  arms  by  private  persons  was  forbidden  by  proclamation 
during  the  reig-n  of  Henry  V.  All  persons  in  the  British  Isles,  who  had 
not  borne  arms  at  Agincourt  were  prohibited  from  assuming-  them,  un- 
less by  hereditary  descent,  or  with  the  sanction  of  the  authorities.  Pe- 
ridocial  circuits  (visitations)  were  held  afterwards,  until  the  end  of 
the  seventeenth  century,  to  determine  bj'^  examination  of  pedig-rees,  etc. , 
the  right  to  the  use  of  armoral  bearing-s  Many  of  these  records  are 
preserved  in  the  British  museum  and  are  still  consulted,  for  evidence  of 
the  hereditary  right  to  use  family  arms. 

Ashworth  P.  Burke,  author  of  "Burke's  Peerage"  and  other  works, 
aptly  states:     "A  right  to  bear  arms  is  the  true  criterion  of  nobility."

Doctor  David  Yale  was  son  of  John  Yale,  who  was  also  sometimes 
called  John  Wyn  and  sometimes  John  Wynn,  of  Plas-yn-Ial  (Plas-yn- 
Yale). 

John  Yale,  or  Wynn  w^as,  as  heretofore  stated,  the  father  of  two  sons 
and  one  daughter,  namely:  first,  Thomas  Yale,  who  inherited  Plas-yn- 
Yale,  and  continued  that  line  of  the  family;  and  second,  Jane  Yale,  w^ho 


YALES  OF  PLAS  GRONO  87 

married  Joseph  Haynes,  D.  D.  (The  mother  of  Thomas  and  Jane  was 
Elizabeth  Mostyn,  daugfhter  of  Thomas  Mostyn.)  The  third  was  Dr. 
David  Yale  and  his  mother  was  Ag-nes  Lloyd,  daug-hter  of  John  Lloyd. 

It  will  be  noted  here,  as  well  as  in  the  preceding-  pedigree,  that 
Thomas  Yale,  whose  descendants  continued  the  line  of  "Plas-yn-Yale" 
and  Dr.  David  Yale,  the  ancestor  of  the  Yales  of  Plas  Grono,  were  half 
brothers;  hence  the  relationship  of  the  Yales  of  these  two  ancient  estates 
will  be  understood. 

The  father  of  John  Yale  (Wynn),  was  David  Lloyd  ap  Elisse  (Ellis) 
of  Plas-yn-Ial,  who  was  descended  from  a  long  line  of  honorable,  illus- 
trious and  noble  ancestors,  as  set  forth  in  the  preceding  pages. 

Dr.  David  Yale  was  also  known  as  David  Lloyd  D.  C.  L.,  but  this 
is  not  at  all  strange,  as  at  that  time  surnames  in  Wales  were  quite  un- 
settled, and  in  fact  were  first  brought  into  use  and  handed  down  from 
father  to  son,  just  about  this  time. 

He  and  his  half  brother  Thomas  were  the  first,  after  their  uncle 
Thomas  Yale,  Chancellor  of  Matthew  Parker,  to  assume  definitely 
and  finally,  the  surname  "Yale." 

Dr.  David  Yale  was  one  of  the  great  men  of  his  time  and  country. 
Mr.  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer  pays  the  following  tribute  to  him:  "a  man, 
famous  in  himself,  and  famous  in  his  connections  and  descendants,  not 
the  least  of  whom  was  Elihu  Yale,  the  founder  of  Yale  College  in  New 
England." 

He  was  rector  of  Llandegla  (1564-1573),  prebendary  of  Y  Faenol  in 

St.  Asaph  Cathedral  (1578-1624),  prebendary  of  Chester  (1582 ), 

Chancellor  of  Chester  a587-1624),  Justice  of  the  Peace  (1601-1620)  "and 
of  the  Quorum"  for  the  County  of  Chester  (1603).  He  owned  the  estate 
known  as  Erddig  House  (now  Erddig  Hall)  and  also  Plas  Grono  and 
other  extensive  tracts  of  land  in  the  vicinity.  In  the  deeds  preserved  at 
Erddig,  he  is  generally  called  "doctor  of  laws"  and  sometimes  "es- 
quire and  doctor  of  laws,"  and  once  he  is  described  as  "Chancellor  of 
Chester."  Before  his  acquisition  of  Erddig,  he  is  generally  described 
as  "of  Chester"  or  "of  Tattenhall,"  Cheshire. 

The  wife  of  Dr.  David  Yale  was  Frances  Lloyd,  daughter  of  John 
Lloyd  ap  David  Lloyd  of  Cevn  Amwlch,  in  Lleyn,  Carnarvonshire,  who 
was  of  the  family  of  Griffiths  of  Cevn  Amwlch. 


THE  YALES  AND  WALES 


Dr.  John  Lloj^d  D.  C.  L.  father  of  Frances  Lloyd-Yale,  was  a  very 
eminent  man.  He  was  for  forty  years  an  advocate  in  the  Consistory  Court 
of  Canterburj'-  and  resided  at  Hartshorne,  Derbyshire.  His  wife,  the 
motherof  Frances,  was  Elizabeth, daughter  of  Thomas  Pigott  of  "Dodder's 
Hall"  in  Co.  Bucks.  Dr.  John  Lloyd  also  had  another  daughter, 
Maria  or  Mary,  who  married  Sir  Symon  Weston,  Knight  of  Lichfield. 

Dr.  Lloyd  died  February,  20,1607,  aged  74  years  and  was  interred 
in  Chester  Cathedral  where  his  remains  were  covered  by  a  brass,  since 
destroyed,  which  bore  the  following  inscription: 

"Here  lies  JohnLloj'd  a  Cambritriton  Doctor  of  Laws,  for  forty  years 
advocate  in  the  Canterbury  Court  of  Arches,  London;  together  with 
Elizabeth,  his  most  beloved  wife;  daughter  of  Thomas  Piggotof  Dodders 
Hall,  in  the  County  of  Bucks,  An  Esquire  of  ancient  nobility  and  to- 
gether with  their  niece  Elizabeth,  and  their  daughter  Francisca,  wife 
of  David  Yale,  Doctor  of  Laws.  The  said  wife  Elizabeth  died  the 
12th  December,  1590.  The  niece  Elizabeth  died  4th  October,  1591.  The 
aforesaid  John  lived  74  years,  devoted  toward  God,  just  toward  all  men. 
To  whomsoever  he  could  he  did  good.  He  injured  no  one.  At  length 
he  entered  upon  the  way  of  all  flesh  20  February,  1607  English  style."* 

In  the  will  of  Dr.  Thomas  Yale,  Chancellor  of  Canterbury  (proved 
1  April,  1578),  the  testator  mentions  his  "Kinsman"  "Davy  Yale, "and 
provides  means  for  him  to  "re-edify  the  house  in  Yale,"  leaving  him  for 
that  purpose  "the  reversion  of  theleaseof  the  Vaynoll."  "The  VaynoU" 
no  doubt  meant  the  prebend  of  Y  Faenol  in  St.  Asaph  Cathedral,  in 
which,  as  is  known  from  other  evidence.  Dr.  David  Yale  succeeded  Dr. 
Thomas  Yale.  Therefore  the  "Davy  Yale"  of  the  will  was  unquestion- 
ably, Dr.  David  Yale.     He  was  also  co-executor  of  the  will. 

The  Shield  of  the  Arms  of  Yale  of  Plas-yn-Yale  and  that  of  the  Arms 
of  Yale  of  Plas  Grono,  differed  only  in  the  fact,  that  the  saltire  on  the 
former  was  engrailed,  while  on  the  latter  it  was  not. 

Dr.  David  Yale  was  prominent  in  his  time,  as  the  proprietor  and 
landlord  of  large  estates,  as  well  as  in  an  official  capacity.  He  was  in 
possession  of  Old  Plas  Grono  before  the  year  1590,  represented  in  later 
years  by  "plas  Grono  farm,"  in  the  hamlet  of  Hafod-y-bwch,  in  the 
township  of  Esclusham  below  Dyke,  County  of  Denbigh.  It  is  not  known 
how  long  he  had  owned  this  estate  before  the  year  1590,  neither  is  it 

*Note:  See  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer's  "History  of  the  Country  Townships  of  the  old 
Parish  of  Wrexham"  for  evidence  as  to  the  parentage  of  Dr.  Da\'id  Yale  and  his  relation- 
ship to  the  Yales  of  Plas-yn-  Yale;  also  for  the  parentage  of  his  wife  Frances. 


YALES  OF  PLAS  GRONO  89 

known  when  New  Plas  Grono  was  built,  in  the  same  hamlet,  but  nearer 
the  confluence  of  the  two  brooks,  called  "Afon  sech"  and  "Afon  goch." 
The  latter  was,  to  avoid  confusion,  called  "Plas  Newydd"  (NewHall) 
and  '"Ty  Cerryg-"  "Stone  House,"  but  finally  it  was  known  by  the 
original  name  "Plas  Grono,"  or  to  employ  its  full  form,  "Plas  Goronwy 
(Grono's  or  Goronwy's  Hall).  A  picture  of  this  house  is  presented 
herein,  and  was,  as  is  stated  elsewhere,  pulled  down  in  1876.  It  was  a 
commodious  residence,  of  sufficient  dimensions  to  accommodate  a  family  of 
twenty,  with  rooms  to  spare;  there  was  an  excellent  walled-in  fruit  gar- 
den, an  ample  lawn,  a  dove  cot  and  sufficient  stabling.  The  tax  returns 
for  1670,  state  it  contained  eight  hearths.  It  passed  from  the  Yale  family, 
when  in  1728  it  was  sold  by  the  heirs  of  Governor  Elihu  Yale.  On  the 
17th  or  18th  of  December  1731,  this  house,  with  part  of  the  estate  be- 
longing thereto,  was  resold  to  John  Meller  of  Erddig  and  has  to  this 
day  remained  a  part  of  the  Erddig  estate,  now  represented  by  Erddig 
Hall.  After  it  became  a  part  of  Erddig  it  was  occupied  by  several 
very  distinguished  families,  among  whom  were  Rev.  William  Powell 
A.  M.,  Dean  of  St.  Asaph,  Mr.  Richard  Lloyd,  of  "The  Rossett"  in 
Gresford  parish.  Mr.  Isaac  Wilkinson,  ironmaster  of  Bersham  Iron 
Works.  Rev.  George  Warrington,  afterwards  vicar  of  Hope  and  Mr. 
Thomas  Apperley,  father  of  the  famous  "Nimrod"  (Charles  James 
Apperley),  who  wrote  affectionately  of  the  old  place,  in  part,  as  follows; 
"I  have  never  seen  such  noble  sycamore  and  horse-chestnut  trees,  as 
those  which  sheltered  Plas  Gronow  from  the  fury  of  the  south  western 
blast  direct  from  the  Welsh  hills;  nor  tasted  such  fine  fruit  as  its  garden 
produced,  nor  drunk  such  cream,  nor  tasted  such  butter."  He  writes 
also  of  the  surroundings  of  this  old  home:  of  the  pretty  cottages  covered 
with  honeysuckles,  of  the  lovely  lanes,  of  the  noble  woods  of  Errdig  and 
of  the  tall  and  beautiful  tower  of  Wrexham  Church,  seen  two  miles  away. 
It  seems  likely  that  "'New  Plas  Grono,"  later  called  simply,  "Plas 
Grono,"  which  we  have  just  described,  was  built  by  Dr.  David  Yale, 
for  his  son  Thomas  Yale,  the  father  of  David,  Anne  and  Thomas,  the 
first  Yales  in  America. 

Dr.  David  Yale  owned  "Erddig  House,"  (now  Erddig  Hall)  and  re- 
sided there,  at  least  a  part  of  the  time,  from  about  the  year  1600  to  the  year 
1619.  He  certainly  purchased  some  lands  in  Erddig  as  early  as  Septem- 
ber, 20,  1598,  as  on  that  date  he  empowered  "Robert  Lloyd,  gent.,  as  his 


90  THE  YALES  AND  WADES 

attorney,  to  take  possession  of  lands  in  Erddig-,  purchased  by  him  from 
John  Erthig-  and  William  Erthig,  gentlemen  of  Erddig-,"  Also  about 
the  same  time  he  was  purchasing  Messuages  and  lands,  or  leases  of 
leashold  property,  in  the  adjoining  townships  of  Esclusham  and  Sontley. 
The  Erddig  House  estate  consisted  of  about  254  English  statute  acres, 
about  the  time  Dr.  Yale  sold  it  to  Mr.  Richard  Davies,  according  to 
"Norden's  Survey"  of  1620.  Mr.  Davies  purchased  it  from  Dr.  Yale  in 
the  year  1619. 

Among  the  fields  on  the  Erddig  Hall  estate  in  Dr.  Yale's  time  were 
"Bron  Erthick"  (Erthig  Brow)  "Llwyn  Erthick"  (Erthig  Grove)  "Kae 
yr  Castell"  (Castle  field)  "Y  dolydd  Erthick"  (Erthig  Meadows) 
"Gweirglodd  Erthick"  (Erddig- hay  field)  "Gwerne  Erthick"  (Erddig 
alder-marsh)  and  "Laund  Y  Glyn"  (Glyn  Glade). 

Dr.  Yale  also  was  in  possession,  by  lease,  of  Gljm  Park,  which 
was  English  Crown  land.  The  park,  generally  speaking,  took  in  the 
whole  valley  of  the  Clywedog,  from  a  point  near  "Erddig  Fechan"  to 
the  King's  Mills  on  the  Ellesmere  Road.  He  purchased  the  lease. of 
part  of  the  park,  from  Peter  Warburton  Esq.,  in  the  j^ear  1606,  and 
also  secured  otherwise  a  lease  of  nearly  all  the  remainder;  for  it  is 
stated  that  on  October,  9,  1615,  he  was  "seized  for  years  yet  enduring 
of  'One  Parke  commonly  called  Glyn  Parke,  also  Parke  Coed-y-Glyn, ' 
in  the  parishes  of  Wrexham  and  Marchwiel,  which  said  park  had  long 
since  been  disparked  and  turned  to  arable  land,  meadow  and  pasture, 
and  wherein  were  divers  messuages  and  tenements,  and  two  'corn 
milnes.'  "  Park  Coed-y-Glyn  included  part  of  Erddig  township  and 
adjoined  the  rest  of  it.  There  is  a  map  of  Glyn  Park  at  Erddig  Hall, 
drawn  up  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  on  which  the  estimated  area 
is  given  as  697  statute  acres. 

On  August  3,  1601,  Dr.  David  Yale  conveyed  the  estate  of  Erddig 
House  to  trustees:  first,  to  the  use  of  himself  and  of  his  wife,  Frances, 
for  the  term  of  their  natural  lives,  and  after  their  death,  to  the  use  of 
Thomas  Yale,  their  eldest  son  and  heirs  male,  or,  in  default,  to  George 
Yale,  their  second  son  and  heirs  male,  or,  in  default,  to  David  Yale, 
their  third  son  and  heirs  male,  or,  in  default,  to  John  Yale,  their  fourth 
son  and  heirs  male,  or,  in  default,  to  Hugh  Yale,  their  fifth  son  and  heirs 
male,  or,  in  default,  to  Richard  Yale,  their  sixth  son  and  heirs  male. 

On  October   9,  1615  Dr.   David  Yale  conveyed  to  Richard  Davies, 


YALES  OF  PLAS  GRONO  91 

Vinter  of  London,  his  right  in  a  leasehold  property  in  Sontley  and 
September,  15  1619,  he  together  with  his  wife  Frances,  and  eldest  son 
and  heir  apparent,  Thomas  Yale,  sold  for  ;^2300  to  the  same  Richard 
Davies,  his  Erddig  estate;  the  same  containing,  four  messuages,  a 
dovehouse,  ISO  acres  of  (arable)  land,  eighty  of  meadow,  hundred  of 
pasture,  twenty  wood,  twenty  heath  and  bruery,  and  twenty  of  moor, 
"in  Erthick  and  Esclusham." 

In  August,  1898,  Mr.  Charles  Henry  Townshend  of  New  Haven, 
Conn.,  a  member  of  the  Advisory  Committee  and  Board  of  Directors  of 
The  New  Haven  Colony  Historical  Society,  discovered  at  Chester,  England 
the  will  of  Dr.  David  Yale,  dated  August  15,  1625,  and  proved  in  the 
Consistory  Court  of  Chester,  with  two  codicils  thereto,  June  16,  1626. 
In  this  will  are  named  two  younger  sons,  Simon  Yale  and  Samuel  Yale, 
evidently  born  after  the  conveyance  of  August  3,  1601,  heretofore 
mentioned.     Several  daughters  are  also  mentioned  in  this  will,  namely: 

Ellen,  Katherine,  Frances,  Devereux  and  two  who  were  married, 

Elyse  and Reynolds. 

Besides  the  other  bequests  in  the  will  he  gives  "to  David  Yale, 
Thomas  Yale  and  anne  Yale,  children  of  Thomas  Yale,  my  eldest 
Sonne  late  deceased,  twentie  pounds  a  yeare." 

Dr.  David  Yale  was  one  of  the  first  of  the  name  and  certainly  he 
was  also  one  of  the  most  prominent  and  honored  of  the  name.*

family  estate  near  Wrexham,  Wales.     He  married  about  the  year  1612, 

*Note:  Mr.  Palmer  indicates  that  he  must  have  made  an  error  in  copying  the  month, 
either  of  the  sale  of  Erddig  House,  or  of  the  date  of  Thomas  Yale's  property  inventory, 
given  in  his  biography;  as  the  inventory  date  is  given  by  him  as  a  month  earlier  than  the 
sale  of  Erddig,  in  which  Thomas  participated. 


92  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Anne  Lloyd,  daughter  of  George  Lloj^d,  Bishop  of  Chester,  1604-1615, 
by  his  wife  Anne,  daughter  of  John  Wilkinson  of  Norwich.  Lord 
Bishop  George  Lloyd  was  son  of  Meredith  Lloyd,  of  Carnarvonshire, 
and  was  born  in  the  year  1560,  at  Carnarvonshire,  Wales.  He  received 
his  early  education  in  Wales  and  was  a  fellow  of  Magdalene  College, 
Cambridge.  Was  Rector  of  Heswell-in-Wirral,  Cheshire,  and  divinity 
reader  in  Chester  Cathedral.  Received  appointment  of  Bishop  of  Soder 
and  Man,  in  the  year  1600  and  of  Chester  in  1604,  retaining  the  latter 
position  until  his  death.  He  also  held  livings,  in  addition  to  his  sees. 
He  died  August  1,  1615,  aged  fifty-five  years  and  was  interred  in  Chester 
Cathedral. 

In  the  church  of  St.  Werbarges  is  an  alabaster  stone,  which  bore  a 
plate  that  some  vandal  has  since  carried  off,  on  which  was  inscribed  a 
Latin  inscription,  of  which  the  following  is  an  English  translation: 

"An  untimelj^  death  has  shut  up  in  this  tomb  the  heart  of  George 
Lloyd,  whose  memory  is  recorded  in  Chester.  Who  was  by  race  a 
Welshman.  Educated  at  Cambridge,  a  Doctor  of  Theology  and  a 
leader  of  the  Theologians.  He  directed  and  benefited  the  Bishopric  of 
Soder  and  Man,  presiding  over  it  for  a  term  of  iive  years.  His  mother 
England  recalled  her  son  and  deemed  him  worthy  to  possess  the  Bish- 
opric of  Chester,  where  eleven  seasons  have  passed  away — not  without 
storms  of  trouble;  he  died  lamented,  and  worthy  to  be  lamented,  in  the 
fiftj^-fifth  year  of  his  age  and  on  the  first  day  of  the  month  of  August, 
1615.     Neither  was  there  shame  in  his  life  nor  shame  in  his  death." 

It  has  been  claimed  that  this  Thomas  Yale  was  named  "David," 
but  the  will  of  his  father.  Dr.  David  Yale,  which  is  given  in  connection 
with  his  biography,  is  positive  proof,  that  the  father  of  David,  Ann,  and 
Thomas  Yale,  who  were  the  first  Yales  in  America,  was  named 
"Thomas."  It  has  also  been  claimed  that  Anne  (or  Ann)  his  wife,  who 
afterwards  became  the  wife  of  Theophilus  Eaton,  was  daughter  of 
Bishop  Morton  of  Chester,  but  this  also  is  an  error;  as  Bishop  Morton 
died  unmarried;  and  further  there  is  ample  evidence  that  she  was,  as 
has  been  stated,  daughter  of  Bishop  Lloyd  of  Chester.  J.  P.  Earwaker, 
in  his  History  of  East  Cheshire,  in  a  note  on  page  thirty -three,  states 
she  was  a  daughter  of  Bishop  Lloyd  of  Chester.  Also,  A.  N.  Palmer, 
author  of  "The  Country  Townships  of  the  Old  Parish  of  Wrexham," 
is  quite  certain  that  this  statement  of  her  parentage  is  correct  and 
states,  among  other  evidence,  that  Mr.  Edward  Meredith  Jones  of  Wrex- 
ham, paid  a  visit  to  Plas  Grono  in  1876,  while  the  old  house  was  being 


Church  at  Bryneglwys,  (Near  Plas  yn  Yale). 


To  which  a  chapel  was  added  by  the  Yales,  containing-  one  pew  for 
the  family,  one  for  the  domestics,  and  one  for  the  tenants,  also  a  few 
benches  for  the  smaller  tenants.     It  is  a  very  old  structure.

demolished,  and  made  a  sketch  of  the  coat  of  arms  painted  on  one  of  the 
mantlepieces,  which  he  later  showed  to  him.  He  says  the  shield  repre- 
sented a  cross  saltire,  impaling  a  chevron  between  three  mullets,  and 
states  further,  that  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  eldest  brother  of  Bishop 
Lloyd,  was  known  to  be: — Gules,  a  Chevron  between  three  mullets  or.; 
and  that  therefore  the  coat  of  arms  on  the  mantlepiece  at  Plas  Grono, 
was  that  of  Thomas  Yale,  who  married  Anne,  eldest  daughter  of  Bishop 
Lloyd. 

This  coat  of  arms  at  Plas  Grono  indicates  that  Thomas  Yale  and 
his  family  must  have  lived  for  sometime  at  Plas  Grono  and  it  was  most 
likely  their  permanent,  or  country  home;  however  they  also  lived  at 
Chester,  and  Mr.  Palmer  states,  in  his  pedigree  of  the  Yales  of  Plas 
Grono,  that  Thomas  Yale  died  at  Chester,  before  August  26, 1619;  and  in 
support  of  this  statement,  he  his  written  a  note  at  the  bottom  of  page 
223  in  his  book,  heretofore  mentioned,  relative  to  an  inventory  on  file 
at  Chester,  of  Thomas  Yale's  goods.  Mr.  Palmer's  note  in  substance 
is  as  follows: 

"1  have  seen  in  the  Chester  Probate  Registry,  the  inventory  of  the 
goods  of  this  Thomas  Yale,  of  the  City  of  Chester,  gent.,  dated  August 
27,  1619.  The  three  children  of  the  deceased  are  mentioned  in  the 
inventory,  and  in  addition,  "Mris  Jfilizabeth  Wright,  one  of  the  dece- 
dent's daughters,"  and  "Mris  Yale,"  evidently  the  widow  of  Mr. 
Thomas  Yale."  (The  value  of  this  personal  estate  was  ;^36-10s-8d.) 

The  "daughter",  "Elizabeth  Wright",  is  also  called  "Mary 
Wright,"  in  Mr  Palmer's  pedigree,  and  it  seems  she  was  a  younger 
daughter  of  Thomas  Yale.  However  it  is  evident  that  she  was  not  living 
August  15,  1625,  when  Dr.  David  Yale,  the  father  of  Thomas,  made  his 
will,  as  he  only  mentioned  the  other  three  children;  David,  Thomas  and 
Anne. 

Mr.  Charles  Hervey  Townshend  of  New  Haven,  Conn.,  discovered 
during  his  researches  in  England  and  Wales,  several  ancient  wills, 
among  which  was  the  will  of  Dr.  Thomas  Yale,  Chancellor  to  Matthew 
Parker,  Arch  Bishop  of  Canterbury,  and  the  will  of  Dr.  David  Yale, 
Chancellor  of  Chester,  which  are  noted  in  connection  with  other  matters 
about  these  eminent  persons,  in  this  work.  Mr.  Townshend  has  also 
supplied  the  copies  of  the  inscriptions  on  the  tablets,  relating  to  Bishop 
George  Lloyd  and  Dr.  John  Lloyd,  reproduced  herein.     Mr.  Townshend

was  himself  a  descendant  of  Mr  Thomas  Yale,  the  subject  of  this  sketch, 
and  of  his  son  Thomas  Yale  of  New  Haven. 

About  the  year  1625,  Anne  Llo3'd-Yale,  the  widow  of  Thomas  Yale, 
married  Theophilus  Eaton,  a  wealthy  merchant  of  London;  who  was 
the  eldest  son  of  the  Rev.  Richard  Eaton,  A.  B.,  vicar  of  Great  Bud- 
worth,  Cheshire.  Mr.  Eaton  was  born  about  1591,  at  Stony  Stratford, 
Bucking-hamshire,  England.  He,  together  with  his  wife,  Anne,  and  his 
three  step-children,  David,  Anne  and  Thomas  Yale,  sailed  for  New 
England  in  America,  in  the  year  1637,  in  company  with  Rev.  John 
Davenport,  a  celebrated  London  clergyman.  They  landed  at  Boston, 
Mass.,  and  prefering  to  go  into  the  wilderness,  Eaton  with  a  few  men, 
after  exploring  the  coast  of  the  sound,  spent  the  following  winter  at  a 
desirable  place  in  that  region.  As  soon  as  spring  opened,  the  company 
sailed  from  Boston  and  in  due  time,  they  arrived  at  the  place  where 
Eaton  had  spent  the  winter.  There  (in  April  1638),  under  a  large  tree, 
on  the  Sabbath  after  their  arrival,  Davenport  preached  his  first  sermon 
in  the  wilderness.  A  daj^  of  fasting  and  prayer  for  direction  was 
observed,  and  they  formed  a  government,  pledging  themselves  "to  be 
governed  in  all  things  by  the  rules  which  the  Scripture  held  forth  to 
them."  Such  was  the  settlement  of  New  Haven.  They  purchased  from 
the  Indians  the  right  to  the  land  (Quinipiak),  and  Eaton  was  elected  the 
first  governor  of  New  Haven  colony,  in  October  1639;  which  office  he 
held  for  more  than  twenty  years,  until  his  death;  having  been  re-elected 
annually.  Mr.  Eaton  was  prominent  in  the  organization  of  the  New 
England  Confederation  in  1643.  In  1655,  assisted  by  Davenport,  he 
drew  up  the  so-called  Connecticut  "Blue  Laws." 

On  the  fourth  of  January  1640  the  General  Court  of  New  Haven 
agreed  to  make  a  division  of  certain  lands  in  the  town,  according  to  the 
proportion  of  the  personal  property  possessed  by  each  planter,  and  at 
the  head  of  the  list  is  Theophilus  Eaton's  name,  with  a  family  of  six 
persons  and  a  personal  estate  of  ;^30CX),  which  was  thrice  as  large  as 
that  of  any  other  planter,  and  almost  ten  per  cent  of  the  whole  amount 
listed.     Governor  lilaton  died  at  new  Haven  January  7,  1658. 

As  every  bit  of  information  about  this  family  is  of  general  interest, 
it  is  well  to  state  that  Cotton  Mather  in  his  life  of  Eaton  describes  the 
wife  of  the  Governor  as,  "A  Prudent  and  Pious  Widow,  the  Daughter 
of  the  Bishop  of  Chester."     Cotton  Mather  was  undoubtedly  personally

well  acquainted  with  the  Governor  and  his  wife,  hence  his  statement, 
as  to  the  character  and  parentag^e  of  Anne  Lloyd- Yale-Eaton,  is  of  the 
highest  authority. 

It  is  claimed  that  Mrs.  Eaton  returned  to  England  with  her  son 
David  Yale,  In  1659.  The  date  or  place  of  her  death  has  not  been 
learned,  but  she  probably  died  in  London,  where  David  resided  until 
in  the  year  1665.

And  Their  Descendants.

David  Yale  was  the  eldest  son  of  Thomas  Yale  of  Plas  Grono,  in 
Wales,  and  his  wife  Anne  Lloj^d,  daug-hter  of  Bishop  Lloyd,  who  after- 
wards married  Mr.  Theophilus  Eaton  of  London  Eng-land.  David  was 
born  in  1613.  He  went  with  his  mother  and  step-father,  to  America  in 
1637  and  settled  with  them  at  New  Haven  in  1638.  On  January  4th  1640 
in  a  list  of  the  personal  property  possessed  by  the  founders  of  New  Haven, 
David  Yale  is  said  to  have  had  a  personal  estate  valued  at  ;!^300.  The 
value  of  his  estate  was  exceeded  only  by  those  of  Mr.  Eaton  and  his 
mother  and  brother. 

David  Yale  at  that  time  was  unmarried,  but  he  probabl}'^  married 
about  the  year  1641.  Hiswifes  first  name  was  Ursula,  but  her  surname 
has  not  been  learned.  He  no  doubt  removed  to  Boston  Mass.  about  the 
3'ear  1641,  as  there  is  nothing  on  record  about  him  at  New  Haven,  later 
than  March,  1641.  It  seems  that  he  disposed  of  his  landed  estate  in  New 
Haven,  to  his  brother;  and  at  any  rate,  he  must  have  gone  to  Boston  be- 
fore Majs  1644  as  the  Boston  registry  shows  the  birth  of  Elizabeth,  "the 
daughter  of  David  and  Ursula  Yale,"  in  May,  1644,  and  her  death  in 
August  of  the  same  j^ear. 

Mr.  Yale  was  an  active  and  thriving  merchant  in  Boston  and  August 
23,  1645,  purchased  from  Edward  Bendall  a  house  and  garden,  with 
lands  appurtenant,  said  to  be  the  most  splendid  in  the  city,  on  the  site 
of  the  present  Pemberton  Square.  He  was  also  Attorney  for  the  Earl 
of  Warwick  in  1646. 

Religiously,  he  recognized  and  was  in  sympathy  with  the  established 
church  of  England  and  therefore  was  not  in  accord  with  the  civil  and 
religious  ideas  of  the  majority  of  the  colonists  and  with  the  local  laws. 
Accordingly,  in  May,  1646,  he  was  induced  to  join  with  six  others,  in 
signing  a  famous  petition  to  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  Bay, 
for  the  redress  of  certain  alleged  grievances,  specifically  remonstrating 
at  the  non-admission  to  the  churches,  of  those    who  acknowledged  the

established  religion  of  England,  and  at  the  non-participation  of  the  in- 
habitants, who  were  not  members  of  the  colonial  church,  in  the  manage- 
ment of  civil  affairs,  as  voters  and  office  holders.  The  authorities  of 
Massachusetts  were  by  no  means  ready  for  such  a  subversion  of  the 
principles  of  the  Church  and  State,  as  then  by  them  constituted,  and 
the  revolutionary  petition — especially  offensive  for  its  distinct  threat  of 
appeal,  to  the  parliamentary  government  in  England — was  answered, 
not  only  by  a  carefully  drawn  counter  argument,  but  also  by  heavy 
fines.  David  Yale  paid  a  fine  of  ;^30  (corresponding  to  at  least  $600 
now)  into  the  public  treasury,  for  his  part  in  this  imprudent  attempt, 
perhaps  incited  by  older  plotters,  to  stir  up  a  revolution  in  the  Puritan 
colony.  Doubtless  the  fact  of  his  being  out  of  harmony  with  the  religious 
and  political  affairs  existing  in  the  colonies,  had  much  to  do  with  his 
determination  later,  to  return  to  his  native  land.  On  July,  5,  1651,  he 
executed  a  power  of  attorney  to  Captain  Thomas  Clark  and  Captain 
Thomas  Lake,  to  dispose  of  his  Boston  estate  and  he  likely  left  for 
England  soon  afterwards;  but  his  family  did  not  go  until  in  1652,  as 
his  son  Theophilus  was  born  in  Boston,  in  January  1652.  He  never  re- 
turned to  America  to  reside,  but  was  in  New  England  on  a  visit  in  the 
summer  of  1659.  His  agents  sold  the  Boston  property  for  him  September 
8,  1653. 

On  his  return  to  England  Mr.  Yale  became  a  merchant  in  London, 
where  he  remained,  certainl}^  until  July,  5th,  1665,  during  the  great 
plague,  as  at  that  time  he  made  his  will;  evidently  believing  that  he 
was  near  to  death.  In  this  will  he  describes  himself  as  "of  the  Parish 
of  Cripplegate,  Merchant,"  and  as  "subject  to  distempers  and  sickness." 
He  makes  provision  for  his  wife  Ursula;  for  his  sons,  David,  Elihu, 
Theophilus  and  Thomas,  and  for  his  distressed  sister,  Mrs.  Ann  Hopkins. 
The  eldest  son  David,  was  to  have  the  family  estate  in  Denbighshire, 
(PlasGrono).  The  "lately  purchased  house  and  lands  called  Llynigmon 
(Llwyn  Enion)"  bought  by  him  from  Mr.  Hugh  Sontley,  "with  two 
tenements  thereunto  belonging,  lying  in  the  parish  of  Wrixam;"  for  the 
provision  of  portions  of  ;[^300  each,  for  his  three  younger  sons  Elihu, 
Theophilus  and  Thomas,  on  their  attaining  the  age  of  twenty-one.  over 
and  above  what  would  come  to  them  from  his  personal  estate.  The  eldest 
son  is  also  to  have  the  reversion  of  the  lands  in  Derbyshire,  which  he 
held  in  trust  for  the  support  of  his  distressed  sister,  Mrs.  Ann  Hopkins.

THE  YALES  AND  WALES 


David  Yale  did  not  die  of  the  * 'distempers  and  sickness"  to  which 
he  stated,  he  was  subject  in  1665,  but  lived  twenty-five  years  longer. 
He  soon  removed  however  from  London  to  Plas  Grono,  the  family  estate, 
near  Wrexham,  Wales,  as  he,  as  well  as  his  son  David,  were  certainly 
settled  there  in  September,  1667,  for  Mr.  A.  N.  Palmer  states  he  has  seen 
both  their  signatures  on  a  local  deed  of  that  date. 

Plas  Grono  was  inherited  by  David  from  his  ancestors,  but  Llwyn 
Enion  he  himself  purchased  from  Mr.  Hug-h  Sontley,  some  time  about 
1661  to  1663. 

Plas  Grono  was  a  larger  house  than  Llwyn  Enion,  as  the  tax  re- 
turns of  1670  state  the  former  contained  eight  hearths,  while  the  latter 
had  five. 

Llwyn  Enion,  (Enion's  Grove),  remained  as  a  part  of  Plas  Grono 
estate,  until  sold  by  the  heirs  of  Gov.  Elihu  Yale  in  1728. 

David  Yale  was  one  of  the  church- wardens  of  Wrexham  1673-1674, 
and  he  no  doubt  continued  to  reside  at  Plas  Grono  until  his  death,  Jan- 
uary 14,  16y0,  aged  76  years.  His  wife  Ursula  died  February  7,  1698, 
aged  74  j^ears.  A  tablet  in  the  parish  church  at  Wrexham  gives  these 
dates  and  also  the  dates  of  death  of  their  sons  David  and  Thomas  and 
of  Mr.  Yale's  sister,  "Anna"  Hopkins,  the  wife  of  Governor  Hopkins.

merchant  in  London.  Thomas  had  an  interest  of  ;^300  in 
Llwyn  Enion,  under  his  fathers  will,  as  has  been  seen, 
which  would  have  amounted  with  interest,  to  ;!^535,  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  This  had  never  been  paid  to  him  and 
should  have  passed  to  the  residuary  leg-atee  under  his  will 
—  the  heir  male  of  his  uncle  Thomas  of  New  England;  but  it 
seems  Llwyn  Enion  and  Plas  Grono  were  claimed  absolutely, 
by  the  heirs  of  Elihu  and  were  sold  by  them.  It  may  be 
that  some  settlement  was  made  with  the  heir  or  heirs,  in 
New  England,  but  no  such  record  has  been  discovered. 

The  will  made  by  Thomas  was  dated  September  29, 
1697  and  was  proved  at  London  England  January  17,  1698 
and  disposed  of  his  property  as  follows.  "Thomas  Yale,  of 
London,  merchant,"  directed  that  after  certain  bequests, 
the  remainder  was  to  be  laid  out  "in  a  good  purchase"  from 
the  income  whereof  his  mother  was  to  receive  an  annuity  of 
;^50,  which  his  brother  Elihu  was  to  have  for  life  if  he  sur- 
vived her.  "And  my  will  is  further,  that  my  said  mother's 
part  after  her  death  and  the  death  of  my  said  Brother,  and 
my  brothers  part  after  his  death,  be  07ily  received  by  my 
Trustee  for  the  use  of  such  persons  or  person  as  are  here- 
after named.  And  if  it  should  please  God,  and  Brother 
Elihu  Yale  should  have  no  heirs  male,  by  hifn  lawfully 
begotten,  then  I  do  herewith  appoint  that  the  said  estate, 
after  the  death  of  my  said  Mother  and  Brother,  be  annexed 
to  the  hereditary  estate  in  the  County  of  Denbigh,  for  the 
use  of  such  said  heir  and  his  heirs  male  forever,  and  in 
(de)  fault  of  such  his  heirs.  Then  to  the  use  and  behoof  of 
the  heirs  male  of  my  uncle  Thomas  Yale  in  New  England 
and  his  fight  heirs  forever.''''  One  of  the  two  Trustees  of 
this  will  was  perhaps  Rev.  Dr.  John  Evans  of  London, 
Bishop  of  Bangor  1701  and  of  Meath  1715.  Thomas  Yale's 
body  was  interred  at  Wrexham  church.  An  interesting

He  came  to  America  with  Gov.  Eaton,  and  others,  in  1637,  and  was

England,  designing  to  return  to  his  family  and  friends,  whom  he  left 
behind,  but  was  made  first  Warden  of  the  fleet,  in  place  of  his  deceased 
brother,  and  very  soon  afterwards  chosen  Commissioner  of  the  Admiralty 
and  Navy,  and  finally  a  member  of  Parliament. 

These  unexpected  preferments  altered  his  design,-  and  he  resolved 
to  send  for  his  family,  and  spend  the  remainder  of  his  days  in  his  native

Thomas  Yale  married  Mary  Turner,  daughter  of  Capt.  Nathaniel 
Turner  of  New  Haven,  1645.  Capt.  Turner  was  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  in  1630, 
and  removed  to  New  Haven  in  1638,  and  was  lost  at  sea,  with  all  his 
crew,  in  The  Phantom,  Mr.  Lamberton's  ship,  which  sailed  from  New 
Haven,  January,  1646. 

Mr.  Yale  came  to  America  in  1637,  with  his  father-in-law,  Gov. 
!Eaton,  and  others,  and  settled  in  New  Haven,  as  a  merchant,  in  1638, 
with  an  estate  of  ;i^200.  After  the  death  of  Eaton,  he  accompanied  his 
mother  and  Hannah  Eaton,  his  half  sister,  and  brother  David,  to  England, 
in  1659.  He  returned  to  New  Haven,  and  purchased  lands  in  that  part 
of  the  town  which  is  now  North  Haven,  and  settled  on  them  as  early  as 
1660.  He  was  one  of  the  principal  men  in  the  colony,  a  signer  of  the 
Plantation  Covenant  of  New  Haven,  and  filled  with  honor  manj-  offices

Biography  of  Governor  Elihu  Yale. 
24. 

Elihu  Yale  was  son  of  David  Yale,  who  came  from  London,  Eng-- 
land  with  his  mother  and  step-father,  Theophilus  Eaton,  in  1637,  and 
who  was  one  of  the  members  of  the  company,  headed  by  Mr.  Eaton  and 
Rev  John  Davenport,  which  founded  the  town  and  colony  of  New  Haven, 
Connecticut,  in  1638. 

It  has  been  stated  by  some  writers,  that  Elihu  was  the  son  of 
Thomas  Yale  of  New  Haven,  but  there  is  no  evidence  to  support  this 
view,  and  on  the  other  hand,  there  is  ample,  indisputable  evidence,  that 
he  was  the  son  of  David.  The  will  of  David  Yale  and  the  entry  of 
Elihu's  admission  to  Master  Dugard's  school  are  sufficient  to  prove  his 
parentage,  and  this  evidence  is  also  substantiated  by  the  indirect  testi- 
mony of  Cotton  Mather  and  Mr.  Clap,  and  by  the  records  at  Madras,  in 
which  Governor  Yale's  brother,  Thomas,  is  said  to  have  been  a  trader 
between  China  and  India,  and  further  and  most  emphatically,  by  the 
will  of  this  same  Thomas,  made  September  29,  1697,  in  which  he  makes 
bequests  to  his  "Brother  Elihu  Yale,"  and  also,  with  certain  provisions 
to  the  '''heirs  male  of  my  uncle  Thomas  Yale  in  New  England  and  his 
right  heirs  forever.'''     As  will  be  noted,  Thomas  Yale  by  this  will  makes 


102  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

it  clear  that  Thomas  Yale  of  New  Haven  was  Elihu  Yale's  uncle, 
instead  of  father.  Furthermore,  such  eminent  authorities  as  Franklin 
B.  Dexter  M.  A.,  of  Yale  University  and  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer,  Anti- 
quarian, of  Wrexham  Wales,  as  well  as  other  prominent  writers,  are 
emphatic  in  stating  that  Elihu  Yale  was  the  son  of  David. 

Sometime  between  March  1641  and  April  1644,  as  has  been  stated  in 
this  work,  David  Yale  removed  from  New  Haven  to  Boston,  Mass.  His 
son  Elihu  was. born  April  5,  1649,  undoubtedly  in  or  near  Boston.  Some 
authorities  state,  on  Pemberton  square,  Boston.  In  the  year  1652  when 
Elihu  was  three  years  of  age,  David  Yale's  family  left  Boston  and  went 
to  England,  where  David  had  already  gone,  settling  finally  in  London, 
where  we  learn  about  the  arrangements  for  Elihu's  education. 

At  the  time  of  the  execution  of  King  Charles,  the  master  of  the  well- 
known  Merchant  Tailors'  School  in  London,  supported  by  the  rich  com- 
pany of  that  name,  was  Mr.  William  Dugard,  a  graduate  of  Cambridge, 
a  good  scholar,  and  withal  an  excellent  printer,  who  combined  the 
business  of  his  trade  with  other  duties.  He  was  the  chief  printer  of  the 
first  editions  of  the  Eikon  Basilike,  attributed  to  the  late  king,  and  in 
1650  provoked  the  Commonwealth  authorities  still  further  by  printing 
an  English  edition  of  the  Defence  of  the  King,  by  Salmasius;  for  this 
his  mastership  was  taken  away,  and  he  was  thrown  into  prison. 
Brought  to  terms  by  this,  and  restored  to  his  office,  he  also  printed 
Milton's  answer  to  Salmasius;  but  in  1661  was  again  dismissed  from 
his  place,  though  not  for  political  reasons,  and  started  a  private  school 
in  Coleman  street,  in  the  city,  some  of  the  registers  of  admission  to 
which  are  still  preserved;  and  among  the  entries,  under  date  of  Septem- 
ber 1,  1662,  is  the  name  of  "Elihu  Yale,  2d  son  of  Mr.  David  Yale,  mer- 
chant, born  in  New  England,  1649."  (Notes  &  Queries,  2d  ser.,  ix, 
101.)  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  this  was  the  boy  for  whom  Yale  Col- 
lege is  named,  who,  now  in  the  autumn  of  1662,  in  his  fourteenth  or  fif- 
teenth year,  joined  Master  Dugard's  school,  in  Coleman  street;  the  same 
short  and  narrow  street  in  which  still  stood  (until  the  great  fire  four 
years  later)  the  parish  church  of  St.  Stephen's;  memorable  to  us  as  the 
church  of  which  John  Davenport  was  vicar,  and  the  spiritual  parent  of 
the  first  church  of  New  Haven. 

But  the  training  of  Elihu  Yale  by  Milton's  friend,  Master  Dugard, 


THE  YALES  OF   AMERICA  103 

was  of  the  briefest;  for  death  ended  Dug-ard's  teaching-  three  months 
after  Elihu's  admission. 

We  hear  no  more  of  his  school  experience;  but  we  know  the  setting 
of  public  events,  in  which  he  g-rew  from  boy  to  man,  and  that  no  other 
equally  brief  period  in  London  history  has  exceeded  this  in  interest  and 
excitement.  He  was  old  enough  to  have  seen  Cromwell  riding-  in  Lon- 
don streets  with  his  g-uards;  to  have  joined  in  silent  concourse  at  his 
funeral,  and  in  the  shouts  of  joy  at  the  Restoration.  He  lived  through 
the  agonies  of  the  plague;  he  saw  the  devastation  of  the  g-reat  fire.  If  it 
pleased  him,  he  may  have  seen  Milton  walking  in  the  Park,  and  Dryden 
lounging  at  Will's  coffee-house;  he  m^ay  have  heard  Jeremy  Taylor  and 
Richard  Baxter  preaching  in  London  pulpits,  and  Geo.  Fox  and  Wm. 
Penn  exhorting  in  Quaker  meeting.  He  saw  the  last  of  an  older  order 
of  things,  like  nothing  since;  and  he  grew  up  with  the  beginnings  of 
what  we  may  fairly  call  Modern  England. 

At  the  end  of  the  sixteenth  century  a  charter  had  been  granted  by 
Queen  Elizabeth  to  a  Company  of  London  merchants  trading  with  the 
East  Indies,  by  which  they  secured  a  monoply  of  that  trade,  so  far  as 
not  possessed  by  friendly  European  powers.  The  Portuguese  had 
already  been  established  in  the  Peninsula  for  a  hundred  years,  and 
simultaneously  with  the  English,  the  Dutch  took  a  hand  in  the  lucrative 
traffic. 

The  first  English  trading  house  was  at  Surat,  high  up  on  the  West- 
ern Coast;  but  this  was  not  enough;  the  Eastern  side  had  superior 
attractions  from  its  offering  certain  goods,  especially  the  beautifully 
dyed  or  painted  calicoes,  much  in  demand  not  only  in  Europe,  but  still 
more  in  Farther  India  and  the  islands  to  the  eastward.  But  the  Eng- 
lish attempts  to  establish  a  permanent  station  on  the  Coromandel  Coast 
were  unsuccessful  until  in  1639,  the  same  year  in  which  civil  government 
was' set  upon  the  soil  of  New  Haven,  a  narrow  strip  of  land,  six  miles 
long  and  a  mile  in  breadth,  was  purchased  of  the  native  ruler  of  the 
middle  Eastern  coast.  The  shore  was  sandy  and  harborless;  but  the 
close  proximity  of  the  flourishing  Portuguese  city  of  St.  Thomas  aug- 
ured well  for  the  security  of  the  new  settlement,  and  the  further  circum- 
stance that  the  territory  included  a  small  island,  about  as  large  as  our 
College  Square,  fixed  the  bargain.  The  island  was  at  once  fortified, 
and  as  none  but  Europeans  were  allowed  to  live  on   it,    this   became 


104  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

known  as  White  Town,  or  from  the  name  g-iven  to  the  fortifications, 
Fort  St.  Georg-e;  while  a  Black  Town  quickly  sprang-  up  on  the  adjacent 
shore;  and  both  settlements  tog"ether  were  known  as  Madras. 

In  its  earliest  years  the  population  of  the  Fort  was  very  scanty, 
perhaps  twenty  or  thirty  servants  of  the  Company,  and  a  small  garri- 
son; but  before  long-  the  neighboring-  Portuguese  city  was  broken  up  by 
a  native  assault,  and  many  of  the  refugees  were  received  in  Fort  St. 
George,  and  built  themselves  dwellings  there;  and  with  the  growth  of 
the  Company's  trade  came  an  increasing  official  population. 

At  the  head  of  affairs  was  the  agent  of  the  East  India  Company, 
styled  the  Governor  of  the  settlement  and  afterwards  the  President,  who 
was  also  the  commander  of  the  garrison.  He  was  lodged  in  a  stately 
mansion  in  the  center  of  the  island,  and  kept  an  open  table  at  which  all 
of  the  Companj^'s  servants  were  expected  to  report  themselves  every  day 
at  dinner.  Next  to  him  were  a  bookkeeper  (or  treasurer),  a  warehouse 
keeper  (or  custom  house  inspector),  and  a  collector  of  taxes;  these  with 
some  trusted  merchants  made  up  the  Council,  who  decided  with  the 
Governor  all  matters  of  business  concerning  the  settlement  and  its 
trade,  except  so  far  as  orders  from  home  took  precedence.  Under  these 
were  the  subordinates,  all  of  whom  were  lodged  and  fed  at  the  Com- 
pany's expense. 

Salaries  were  notoriously  and  ludicrously  small, — from  the  Govern- 
or's at  ;/^100  a  year  down  to  the  apprentices'  at  £S.  It  was  expected  that 
officers  and  men  would  indulge  in  private  ventures  of  their  own  in  East- 
ern ports,  while  nominally  promoting  the  Company's  trade.  Then, too, 
the  opportunities  for  levying  extra  and  illegal  taxes  on  the  natives  who 
sold  goods  to  the  Company,  were  so  evident  that  they  may  be  said  to 
have  been  expected  and  connived  at;  while  the  want  of  the  restraints  of 
family  life,  and  the  close  neighborhood  of  the  black  town  with  its  temp- 
tations to  the  grosser  forms  of  dissipation,  made  the  Fort  a  poor  school  of 
morals  for  any  new  comer,  however  correct  his  principles  and  his  life 
before  leaving  England. 

It  was  about  1670,  when  just  past  his  majority,  that  Elihu  Yale 
emigrated  to  Madras  to  make  his  fortune  as  a  merchant.  The  details 
of  his  rise  there  are  all  wanting;  but  he  probably  began  in  the  lowest 
grade  of  the  service,  as  an  apprentice,  rising  from  that  to  the  successive 
ranks  of  writer,  factor,   and  merchant.     We  fix  the  date  of  his  begin- 


THK  YALES  OF  AMERICA  105 

ning  by  his  casual  mention  in  a  docnment  in  1691,  of  twenty  years'  dili- 
gent service  in  India;  but  the  first  notice  of  him  in  print  is  in  describing 
the  solemnity  of  proclaiming  King  James  II.,  at  Madras  in  August, 
1685.  There  was  a  grand  procession  of  all  the  chief  merchants,  English 
and  foreign,  great  numbers  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  Gentoo  town,  with 
arms  and  elephants  and  kettle  drums  and  native  music,  besides  twelve 
English  trumpets;  and  in  the  chief  place  of  honor  was  a  troop  com- 
manded and  led  by  the  President,  and  the  rear  brought  up  by  Mr. 
Elihu  Yale."  He  had  the  reached,  as  appears  by  the  record  of  the  suc- 
ceeding month,  the  rank  of  second  member  of  council,  and  less  than  two 
years  later  had  become  the  senior  or  first  member, — only  subordinate, 
to  the  Governor  or  President  himself. 

At  this  time  the  Sultan  of  Golconda,  the  petty  Mohammedan  ruler 
in  whose  domains  the  English  fort  was  situated,  was  attacked  by  the 
great  Indian  emperor,  reigning  at  Delhi,  Aurung-Zeb,  and  there  was 
need  in  the  complications  which  might  arise,  of  firmer  qualities  in  the 
Presidency  at  Madras  than  the  present  incumbent,  Mr.  Gifford,  had 
shown. 

Regular  promotion  was  the  principle  of  the  service,  and  accordingly 
the  directors  in  London,  acting  by  their  Governor,  Sir  Josiah  Child, 
the  eminent  writer  on  finance,  sent  out  orders  which  were  received  at 
Madras  on  the  23d  of  July,  1687,  retiring  President  Gifi'ord,  and  ap- 
pointing Elihu  Yale  his  successor. 

Two  months  later  the  great  Mogul  succeeded  in  conquering  the 
fortress  of  Golconda,  and  became  master  in  consequence  of  the  North- 
ern Carnatic,  the  province  including  Madras;  and  so  it  was  one  of  the 
earliest  public  duties  of  our  American-born  President  Yale  to  proclaim 
on  the  part  of  Englishmen,  the  formal  ceremonies  of  submission  to  the 
last  and  one  of  the  greatest  of  the  great  monarchs  of  India. 

The  Mogul  proved  to  be  dissatisfied  with  the  small  rental  (about 
$2000  a  year)  paid  for  the  occupancy  of  the  Madras  territory,  and 
attempted  to  extort  additional  sums;  and  threats  were  heard  of  his  in- 
tending to  besiege  the  fort  and  destroy  all  the  English  in  his  dominions. 
The  defences  were  quietly  strengthened  in  consequence,  and  at  the  same 

*  J.  T.  Wheeler's  Madras  in  the  Olden  Time,  i,  140. 


106  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

time  conciliatory  messages  were  sent  to  the  Emperor,  for  which  last  the 
President  was  roundly  rebuked  by  his  superiors  at  home. 

In  1689  the  accession  of  William  of  Orange  to  the  English  throne, 
brought  a  new  complication.  The  rule  of  William  meant  war  with 
France,  and  that  meant  for  Madras  a  collision  between  her  commerce 
and  the  French  settlement  at  Pondicherry,  eighty  miles  down  the  coast. 
But  the  same  event  brought  the  Dutch,  who  were  nearer  neighbors  on 
the  north,  into  closer  alliance,  and  the  result  of  the  only  naval  engage- 
ment of  importance,  which  President  Yale  superintended,  was  favorable 
to  the  allies. 

Meantime  the  city  throve  and  grew  rich.  Within  the  narrow  limits 
of  the  island,  garrisoned  by  seven  hundred  soldiers,  were  crowded  to- 
gether about  one  hundred  and  thirty  houses,  containing  perhaps  three 
hundred  English  and  many  more  Portuguese;  while  within  the  bounds 
of  the  whole  territory  was  a  population  reckoned  at  three  hundred 
thousand  souls. 

Over  this  multitude  the  President,  acting  with  the  advice  of  his 
council,  was  absolute;  and  even  by  himself  could  wield  very  great  power. 
The  old  traveler.  Dr.  Fryer,  who  visited  Madras  about  1675,  describes 
with  gusto  the  Governor's  magnificence;  his  personal  guard  of  three  or 
four  hundred  blacks;  how  he  never  goes  abroad  without  fifes,  drums, 
trumpets,  and  a  flag;  being  carried  in  a  gorgeous  palankeen,  and  shaded 
by  an  ostrich-feather  fan. 

But  the  records  show  that  this  splendor  had  its  penalties.  Year  in 
and  year  out,  a  succession  of  mighty  quarrels  raged  between  the  Gov- 
ernor and  his  subordinates  in  the  council,  which  were  relieved  perhaps 
but  not  quenched,  by  towering  accusations  and  recriminations. 

The  prime  cause  of  the  attacks  on  the  President  appears  to  have 
been  certain  frauds  in  trading  operations,  alleged  to  have  been  com- 
mitted by  his  brother,  Thomas  Yale,  whose  side  the  President  espoused. 
There  were  further  charges  against  the  President  directly,  of  arbitrary 
government,  of  neglect  of  duty,  and  of  using  the  Company's  funds  for 
private  speculation. 

In  answer  to  such  charges,  in  1691,  he  states  that  he  has  made  hon- 
estly during  twenty  years  of  diligent  service  and  trading  in  India,  above 
500,000  pagodas,  that  is  some  $900,000, — which  in  comparison  with  the 
ordinary  fortunes  of  the  time  would  be  represented,  perhaps,  according 


THE  YALES  OF  AMERICA  107 

to  our  ideas  in  this  century,  by  three  or  four  millions,  or  perhaps  more. 
And  as  salaries  were  so  insignificant,  practically  the  whole  of  this 
large  amount  must  have  been  derived  from  the  profits  of  private  trade. 
References  in  letters  from  the  Company  seem  to  show  that  they  regarded 
his  success  in  accumulating  as  something  extraordinary  and  not  alto- 
gether creditable;  and  yet,  that  he  was  reckoned  a  public  benefactor 
must  be  concluded  from  such  a  sentence  as  this,  in  a  letter  of  February, 
1691,  from  the  Court  of  Directors:  "We  desire  our  President,  Mr.  Yale, 
whom  God  hath  blessed  with  so  great  an  estate  in  our  service,  to  set  on 
foot  another  generous  charitable  work  before  he  leaves  India;  that  is, 
the  building  of  a  church  for  the  Protestant  black  people  and  Portuguese, 
and  the  slaves  who  serve  them." 

The  squables  in  Council  were  brought,  however,  to  the  ears  of  the 
Directors,  and  accompanied  with  other  charges,  especially  of  losing  the 
trade  with  Sumatra. 

A  vote  of  censure  was  the  final  result,  and  a  determination  was 
reached  about  the  beginning  of  1692  to  remove  Yale  from  office.  It  was 
not,  however,  until  November  23d,  in  that  year,  that  the  vessel  arrived 
which  bore  the  commission  of  his  successor,  and  ended  his  reign  of  five 
years  and  four  months. 

The  settlement  of  outstanding  accounts  between  him  and  the  Com- 
pany dragged  through  two  or  three  years,  and  if  one  may  believe  his 
representations  to  the  home  authorities,  he  was  grievously  plundered  by 
arbitrary  seizure  of  his  goods,  as  well  as  by  legal  decisions  against  him; 
and  was  kept  a  prisoner  at  the  Fort  when  longing  to  return  to  England, 
with  design,  as  tie  says,  "to  enforce  him  into  despair,  or  otherwise  to 
bring  on  him  some  distemper  that  may  hasten  his  death,  which  not  long 
since  by  poison  was  near  effected."     (Wheeler's  Madras,  i,  289.) 

•  There  are  ample  replies  to  these  charges  from  the  new  President 
and  Council,  detailing  their  proceedings  in  conformity  to  law,  but 
claiming  that  Yale  had  bribed  the  judges  where  he  could,  and  that  his 
personal  liberty  had  never  been  abridged.  As  to  his  suggestion  of 
poison  they  say: 

"They  that  know  him  will  doubtless  conclude  with  us,  either  this 
bold  reflection  is  no  more  than  the  accustomary  strains  of  wicked  policy, 
or  a  salvo  for  his  own  credit  against  the  common  reports  of  the  unusual 
deaths  of  several  of  the  Council  when  he  was  President;  ...  if  they  had 
been  living  to  declare,  themselves,  what  others  have  since  their  death 


108  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 


declared  as  from  them,  some  of  Mr.  Yale's  instruments  must  have  been 
prosecuted,  and  he  would  have  been  put  hard  to  it  to  clear  his  own  repu- 
tation." 

As  to  poisoning  him: 

"There  was  never  a  report  that  ever  we  heard,  of  anything-  that 
would  give  him  the  least  color  for  such  a  suggestion  since  the  3'ear  1691, 
when  there  was  a  story  told  all  about  the  town,  of  a  rogue  that  tempted 
Mrs.  Nicks'  slave  wench  to  poison  her  mistress;  and  because  Mrs. 
Nicks  then  lived  with  Mr.  Yale  at  his  garden-house  (which  she  and 
Mrs.  Pavia,  with  their  children,  have  and  do  frequent  to  the  scandal  of 
Christianitj'-  among  the  heathens,)  therefore  he  takes  occasion  to  sup- 
pose the  design  was  against  himself  and  to  insinuate  that  the  new 
President  and  Council  had  a  hand  in  it." 

Probably  the  truth  was  not  all  on  either  side  of  the  controversy;  but 
after  this  we  hear  no  more  of  these  charges. 

It  may  be  worth  while  to  notice  that  Yale's  successor  as  President 
was  Nathaniel  Higginson,  another  American,  and  a  native  of  Guilford 
in  the  old  New  Haven  Colony.  He  was  a  grandson  of  the  Rev.  Francis 
Higginson,  first  minister  at  Salem,  whose  widow  after  his  early  death 
came  to  New  Haven,  probably  because  she  was  a  sister  to  Governor 
Eaton.  This  may  help  to  explain  how  her  grandson  after  graduating 
at  Harvard  College  and  going  to  England  to  seek  his  fortune,  followed 
Governor  Eaton's  grandson  by  marriage,  Elihu  Yale  (who  was  Nathd,n- 
iel  Higginson's  senior  by  three  or  four  years),  to  Madras,  and  by  his 
help  was  started  in  a  prosperous  career  there.  Truth  obliges  the 
statement  that  Higginson  has  left  a  cleaner  record,  both  of  official  and 
private  life  in  the  Indies,  than  his  fellow-countryman  and  quasi-kins- 
man. 

There  is  one  other  unpleasant  story,  which  so  far  as  is.known  first 
appeared  in  print  in  1764,  in  the  second  edition  of  John  Harris'  Collec- 
tion of  Voyages  (i,  917),  to  this  effect:— In  comment  on  the  mildness  of 
the  penalties  usually  inflicted  in  the  East  India  Government,  it  is  men- 
tioned that  President  Yale  hanged  one  of  his  grooms  for  riding  a  fav- 
orite horse  of  his  without  leave,  for  two  or  three  days'  journey  into  the 
country  to  take  the  air;  but  that  Yale  was  tried  on  his  return  to  Eng- 
land and  heavily  fined  for  the  misdemeanor.  Later  writers  enlarge  the 
account  by  stating  that  his  return  to  England  was  in  order  to  meet  his 
trial  for  this  murder. 

The  whole  implication  in  the  story  as  first  told,  is  that  it  was  an 


Erddig  Hall.

incident  of  his  presidency;  but  as  this  does  not  appear  among  the  var- 
ious charges  against  him  at  the  time  and  as  full  seven  years  elapsed 
before  his  return,  and  as  no  records  of  the  trial  can  be  discovered  in 
England,  there  is  some  doubt  about  the  evidence.  Not  that  it  disagrees 
with  his  character;  for  it  is  stated  that  the  conclusion  of  any  who  study 
the  original  documents  must  be  that  our  hero,  if  hero  at  all,  was  like 
the  image  in  Nebuchadnezzar's  dream;  part  of  fine  gold  and  part  of  iron 
and  clay.  His  surroundings  must  be  his  most  effective  defence  for  a 
record  of  arrogance,  cruelty,  sensuality,  and  greed,  while  in  power  at 
Madras. 

In  1699,  however,  at  the  age  of  fiftj'-one,  he  sailed  for  England.  He 
found  that  his  father,  mother  and  brothers  had  died,  and  one  of  his  first 
acts  was  to  prove,  as  sole  survivor  of  the  famil}',  the  will  made  many 
years  before. 

Soon  after  his  return,  he  built  in  London  a  stately  residence,  in 
Queen's  Square,  Great  Ormond  street,  a  little  to  the  east  of  the  present 
British  Museum,  the  site  of  which  is  now  probably  occupied  by  a  hos- 
pital, built  in  later  years. 

The  Square  was  a  fashionable  locality,  laid  out  and  built  up  in  the 
reign  of  Queen  Anne,  from  whom  came  the  name.  Though  now  buried 
in  the  heart  of  London,  it  was  then,  and  for  at  least  fifty  j^ears  later, 
quite  on  the  outskirst  of  the  city,  and  the  northern  side  was  left  open  for 
the  sake  of  the  beautiful  landscape,  formed  by  the  hills  of  Highgateand 
Hampstead,  with  the  intervening  fields. 

That  his  was  a  palatial  establishment  and  filled  with  works  of  art 
and  curiosities  of  great  value,  appears  from  the  fact  that  he  received  as 
insurance  from  the  Sun  Fire  Office,  in  January  1719,  on  account  of  a 
recent  fire  in  this  house,  the  enormous  sum  of  ;^4,500. 

In  connection  with  his  return  from  India  the  story  has  been  handed 
down  that  the  first  auction  ever  held  in  Great  Britain  was  an  auction  of 
goods  brought  home  with  him  and  sold  in  1700;  but  though  this  may 
have  made  an  epoch  in  the  history  of  auctions,  it  is  yet  true  that  the 
system  in  its  essentials  can  be  traced  further  back:— see,  for  instance, 
Pepys'  Diary  for  1660  (Nov.  6),  for  a  notice  of  the  sale  by  inch  of  candle, 
a  method  of  auction  early  in  vogue,  both  on  the  Continent  and  in  Eng- 
land.*

It  was  on  May  11,  1711,  that  Mr.  Jeremiah  Dummer,  the  agent  at 
London  for  the  Province  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  as  later  also  for  the 
Colony  of  Connecticut,  first  mentions  in  a  letter  to  the  Rev.  James  Pier- 
pont  of  New  Haven,  the  principal  founder  of  the  CoUeg-iate  School  at 
Saybrook,  that  "Mr.  Yale,  formerly  Governor  of  Fort  St.  George,  who 
has  got  a  prodigious  estate,"  having  no  son,  is  sending  to  Connecticut  for 
a  relation  to  make  him  his  heir;  that  is,  I  suppose,  to  secure  the  descent 
of  the  landed  property  in  Wales  to  one  of  the  Yale  name.  '  'He  told  me 
lately,"  adds  Dummer,  "that  he  intended  to  bestow  a  charity  upon 
some  college  in  Oxford,  under  certain  restrictions  which  he  mentioned. 
But  /  think  he  should  rather  do  it  to  your  college,  seeing  he  is  a  New 
England  and  I  think  a  Connecticut  man.  If,  therefore,  when  his  kins- 
man comes  over,  you  will  write  him  a  proper  letter  on  that  subject,  I 
will  take  care  to  press  it  home."* 

Pierpont  was  not  a  man  to  neglect  such  an  opportunity,  and  no 
doubt  when  young  David  Yale,  a  boy  of  fifteen,  son  of  the  oldest  cousin 
of  the  governor,  was  sent  over,  in  the  j^ear  1714,  he  carried  "a  proper 
letter,"  describing  the  achievements  and  aspirations  of  the  college  at 
Saybrook. 

About  the  same  time  Dummer  was  collecting  from  all  his  friends  a 
gift  of  books  for  the  college  library,  and  when  these  (upwards  of  seven 
hundredjvolumes  in  all)  were  received  in  1714,  between  thirty  and  forty 
volumes  (the  most  from  any  single  donor  except  the  collector  himself) 
were  marked  as  given  by  Governor  Yale.  The  selection,  which  was 
presumably  his  own,  is  an  uncommonlj'-  broad  one;  there  are  good  rep- 
resentatives of  theologv',  history,  chronology,  polite  literature,  classics, 
metaphysics,  natural  science,  medicine,  political  science,  commerce, 
agriculture,  military  science,  and  architecture, — providing  we  may  say, 
some  foundation  for  every  one  of  the  present  departments  in  the  univers- 
ity which  was  then  so  completely  in  embryo. 

President  Clap  (Annals,  p.  23)  has  stated  that  another  gift  of  three 
hundred  volumes  followed  this  three  j^ears  later;  but  the  contemporary 
records,  which  appear  to  be  full  on  this  subject,  have  no  trace  of  it,  and 
there  is  reason  to  think  that  the  statement  is  a  wrong  inference  of  Clap's, 
from  a  vote  passed  in  1717  wHh  reference  to  other  gifts  bj'  Dummer 

In  October,  1716,  a  majority  of  the  trustees  of  the  Collegiate  School 

*Bacons  Historical  Discourses,  189. 


THE  YALES  OF  AMERICA  111 

voted  to  remove  it  from  Saybrook  to  New  Haven,  and  in  the  same  month 
instruction  was  actually  begun  in  temporary  quarters  here;  and  a  year 
later  the  first  colleg-e  house  was  raised, — that  stupendous  architectural 
monstrosity,  which  stood  till  the  Revolution  in  front  of  the  present  South 
Colleg-e.  We  may  form  a  good  idea  of  its  appearance  by  imagining  a 
wooden  building  the  length  of  Durfee  College,  and  of  three-quarters  its 
height,  but  of  only  one-half  the  width,  and  painted  moreover  a  beautiful 
cerulean  color. 

The  trustees  were  utterly  without  resources  to  finish  so  elegant  a 
building;  but  they  had  probably  begun  it  with  a  more  or  less  distinct 
hope  of  help  from  abroad,  and  in  their  extremity  one  good  friend  of  the 
college.  Dr.  Cotton  Mather,  of  Boston,  was  appealed  to,  whose  powers 
of  persuasion  proved  equal  to  the  need.  On  the  14th  of  January,  1718, 
he  wrote  to  Governor  Yale  a  remarkable  letter,  in  which  he  praised  skil- 
fully the  Governor's  well-known  charity,  and  solicits  his  favor  towards 
the  college  at  New  Haven;  with  a  happy  vein  of  prophecy,  linking  the 
two  words  that  had  never  been  joined  before,  as  they  now  stand  linked 
to  all  the  future.  "Sir,"  said  he,  "though  you  have  felicities  in  your 
family,  which,  I  pray,  God  continue  and  multiply,  yet  certainly,  if 
what  is  forming  at  New  Haven  might  wear  the  name  of  Yale  College, 
it  would  be  better  than  a  name  of  sons  and  daughters.  And  your  mu- 
nificence might  easily  obtain  for  you  a  commemoration  and  perpetuation 
of  your  valuable  name,  which  would  indeed  be  much  better  than  an 
Egyptian  pyramid."* 

It  is  the  fashion  to  sneer  at  Cotton  Mather  for  his  lively  imagination 
and  his  overweening  credulity;  but  no  inspired  vision  could  have  given 
him  firmer  ground  for  his  faith  that  was  in  him.  The  morsel,  the  merest 
fragment  of  his  great  possessions,  which  the  rich  man,  thoughtlessly 
perhaps,  and  possibly  grudgingly,  cast  on  the  waters,  in  response  to 
this  appeal,  has  not  been  lost  or  scattered.  It  has  brought  to  his  name 
great  honor,  and  fame  more  enduring  than  any  possible  material  struct- 
ure of  man. 

Dummer,  meantime,  was  "endeavoring  to  get  a  present  from  Mr. 
Yale  for  finishing  the  college;"  and  his  interviews,  seconded  by  such 
letters  as  Mather's,  bore  welcome  fruit. 

On  June  11th,  1718,  there  were  shipped  from  Governor  Yale  in    a 

*Quincy's  Hist,  of  Harvard  University,  i,  524. 


112  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

vessel  bound  for  Boston,  three  bales  or  trunks  of  valuable  g-oods,  to  be 
sold  for  the  benefit  of  the  college;  and  with  these  the  full-length  portrait 
of  King  George  I.,  by  Kneller,  which  still  g-races  the  college  collection* 
an  escutcheon  representing  the  royal  arms,  which  was  destroyed  in  the 
Revolution,  and  a  large  box  of  books, — the  entire  value  of  the  gift  being 
estimated  at  ;^800.  An  invoice  of  a  part  of  the  goods  is  still  preserved, 
with  its  enumeration  of  "25  pieces  of  g-arlix  (whatever  that  may  be),  18 
pieces  of  calico,  17  pieces  of  stuff  (that  is,  worsted  goods),  12  pieces 
Spanish  poplin,  5  pieces  plain  muslin,  3  pieces  camlet,  and  2  of  black 
and  white  silk  crape;" — these  being  set  down  as  worth  ^^130  at  prime  cost, 
but  bringing  in  Boston  three  times  that  amount.  Besides  there  were 
other  parcels  sold  unbroken  at  the  same  two  hundred  per  cent  advance, 
making  the  entire  proceeds  of  the  g-ift,  in  hard  money,  £S62,  123.  Three 
years  elapsed  before  the  goods  were  all  sold  and  paid  for,  but  it  is  prob- 
able the  money  was  all  swallowed  up  in  meeting  the  bills  for  the  erec- 
tion of  the  new  college,  which  is  said  to  have  cost  nearly  ;i^lOOO.  It  was 
a  crisis  in  the  history  of  the  institution;  for  though  it  is  hard  to  imag- 
ine the  turn  of  events  if  the  trustees  had  not  received  this  help,  it 
seems  extremely  doubtful  if  they  could  have  finished  their  new  building 
at  once;  and  every  delay  would  have  strengthened  immensely  the  fac- 
tion opposed  to  the  removal  to  New  Haven,  which  now  was  conducting  a 
rival  college  at  Wethersfield,  and  which  might  very  probably,  but  for 
this  timely  contribution,  have  succeeded  in  endowing  the  rival  and 
choking  out  the  New  Haven  original. 

It  is  saying  little  to  note  that  this  was  by  far  the  largest  sum  which 
the  college  during  the  first  twenty  years  of  its  struggling  existence  had 
received  from  any  private  person.  Nor  should  we  judge  from  our  mod- 
ern notions  of  large  endowments,  that  Governor  Yale  earned  his  immor- 
tality too  cheaply.  It  was  really  for  those  times  a  munificent  gift;  and 
the  giver  remained  for  a  full  century,  the  largest  individual  donor  to  the 
college  funds;  until  the  receipt  of  $10,000  in  1837  from  the  estate  of  Dr. 
Alfred  E.  Perkins,  for  the  library. 

The  news  of  this  great  gift  reached  New  Haven  a  few  days  before 
the  Commencement  celebration. 

The  story  of  that  splendid  and  long  remembered  Commencement  is 
no  doubt  familiar  to  all  who  have  glanced  at  the  annals  of  the  college. 
On  that  bright  September  morning,  in  the  year  1718,    "we  were  favored

and  honored,"  writes  the  contemporary  chronicler,  Tutor  Johnson, 
"with  the  presence  of  his  Honor  Governor  Saltonstall  and  his  lady, 
and  the  Honorable  Colonel  Tailer  of  Boston,  and  the  Lieutenant  Gov- 
ernor and  whole  Superior  Court,"  also  a  g"reat  number  of  reverend  min- 
isters and  a  g-reat  concourse  of  spectators.  The  trustees,  meeting-  in  the 
new  building  "first  most  solemnly"  in  the  sonorous  Latin  periods  still 
spread  upon  their  records,  "named  our  college  by  the  name  of  Yale  Col- 
lege .  .  .  upon  which  the  Hon.  Col.  Tailer,"  who  had  been  sent  over  by 
Queen  Anne  as  Lieutenant  Governor  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  and  who 
in  anticipation  of  these  festivities  had  made  the  toilsome  journey  from 
Boston,  "represented  Governor  Yale  in  a  speech,  expressing  his  great 
satisfaction." 

At  the  public  exercises  in  the  church,  there  was  a  pleasant  rivalry 
in  Latin  compliments  to  the  absent  Maecenas  from  the  salutatory  orator 
of  the  graduating  class  (a  son  of  James  Pierpont),  from  one  of  the  Trus- 
tees (a  grandson  of  John  Davenport),  and  most  elegantly  of  all  from  that 
superb  old  Puritan,  Governor  baltonstall  himself. 

And  before  they  separated  the  Trustees  composed  a  profuse  and 
painful  letter  of  thanks,  at  which,  as  Dummer  reports  in  due  season, 
the  old  gentleman  was  more  than  a  little  pleased,  "saving  that  he 
expressed  at  first  some  kind  of  concern  whether  it  was  well  in  him,  be- 
ing a  churchman,  to  promote  an  Academy  of  Dissenters.  But  when  he 
had  discoursed  the  point  freely,  he  appeared  convinced  that  the  busi- 
ness of  good  men  is  to  spread  religion  and  learning  among  mankind, 
without  being  too  fondly  attached  to  particular  tenets  about  which  the 
world  never  was,  nor  never  will  be,  agreed.  Besides,"  adds  Dummer, 
"if  the  discipline  of  the  Church  of  England  be  most  agreeable  to  Script- 
ure and  primitive  practice,  there's  no  better  way  to  make  men  sensible 
of  it  than  by  giving  them  a  good  learning." 

It  is  surely  alike  to  the  honor  of  the  givers  and  of  the  recipients  that 
the  great  benefactors  of  this  College  in  its  first  century,  Elihu  Yale  and 
George  Berkeley,  were  both  churchmen,  as  the  greatest  benefactor  of 
Harvard  in  the  same  century  was  Thomas  Hollis,  a  Baptist. 

It  does  not  appear  that  any  additions  were  made  to  these  gifts  until 
February,  1721,  when  Dummer  writes  to  Governor  Saltonstall  that  Mr. 
Yale  has  shipped  another  ;/;iOO  worth  of  goods  for  the  College.  "This, 
however  is  but  half  what  he  promised  me  a  month  ago,  when  he  assured 


114  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

me  he  would  remit  j^ou  ;^200  sterling  per  annum  during-  his  life,  and 
make  a  settled  annual  provision  to  take  place  after  his  death.  But  old 
g-entlemen  are  forgetful  ''  The  College  records  do  not  show  clearly 
whether  the  shipment  here  referred  to  was  actually  received;  but  there 
seems  no  reason  to  doubt  that  it  was.  The  name,  "Yale  College,"  was 
changed  to  "Yale  University"  in  1887,  by  authority  o''  the  General 
Assembl}^  of  the  State. 

It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Yale  intended  to  make  an  additional  sub- 
stantial bequest  to  the  college  in  his  will,  but  he  died  so  suddenly  that 
it  was  left  unsigned.  According  to  Dummer's  letters  there  was  a  will 
partly  finished  which  contained  a  legacy  for  the  college  (stated  b}^  Rec- 
tor Clap  to  have  been  ;^500).  Mr.  Dummer  made  every  effort  to  secure 
this  legacy  for  the  college,  but  the  sons-in-law  resisted  and  were  suc- 
cessful. 

It  is  due  Mr.  Yale,  however,  if  there  were  any  seeming  lack  of  gen- 
erosity in  his  last  years,  on  his  part,  to  the  college  which  bore  his 
name,  to  explain  that  in  1718  he  lost  ;^40,000  through  the  absconding  of 
Sir  Matthew  Kirwood,  Knt.,  goldsmith.  Sir  Matthew  was  banker  to 
Edward  Pauncefort,  Esq.,  one  of  the  receivers  general  to  the  Commis- 
sioners of  Assize,  and  Governor  Yale  was  surety  for  the  banker  in  a 
penal  bond  for  the  sum  mentioned.  Mr.  Yale  sued  out  a  writ  of  error 
against  the  Crown,  and  soon  after  his  death  his  widow  and  adminis- 
tratrix, Katherine  Yale,  obtained  a  new  writ  of  error  to  reverse  the 
judgment.  The  loss  of  this  large  amount,  which  in  those  times  would 
be  considered  an  enormous  sum,  was  no  doubt  sufficient  to  cause  a  per- 
son, even  in^his  affluent  circumstances,  to  curtail  and  perhaps  abandon 
expenditures  which  might  have  been  contemplated. 

Returning  to  the  narrative  of  Mr.  Yale's  life,  we  find  that  on  No- 
vember 4,  1680,  he  married,  at  St.  Mary's,  Fort  St.  George,  Madras, 
Catharine  (Katharine),  widow  of  Mr.  Joseph  Hynmers,  a  former  mem- 
ber of  the  council,  and  daughter  of  Mrs.  Ann  Elford.  It  is  regrettable 
to  have  to  admit,  in  the  light  of  historical  evidence  heretofore  men- 
tioned, that  he  also  was  living  during  his  residence  at  Madras  in  im- 
moral relations  with  a  Mrs.  Nicks  and  a  Mrs.  Pavia,  the  latter  a  Por- 
tuguese Jewess,  at  his  garden  house  in  Fort  St.  George.  It  has  been 
stated  by  Peters,  a  writer  given  to  questionable  statements,  that  Mrs. 
Hynmers  was  a  copper-colored  native  of  India,  but  this  statement  is  dis- 


THE  YALES  OB^  AMERICA  115 

countenanced  by  Professor  Dexter  and  other  reliable  authorities.  Mr. 
Dexter  states,  however,  that  she  may  have  been  of  Portug-uese  descent, 
and  possibly  a  jew^ess;  but  Mr.  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer  is  of  the  opinion 
that  this  inference  is  also  quite  unlikely,  and  it  seems  very  probable 
that  she  was  an  Engflishwoman. 

Mr.  Yale  lived  at  Plas  Grono,  in  Wales,  directly  after  his  return 
from  India,  as  his  name  occurs  in  the  parish  books  of  Wrexham  for  the 
year  1699;  and  while,  as  stated  heretofore,  he  erected  a  splendid  resi- 
dence in  London,  he  spent  much  of  his  time  for  many  years  at  Plas 
Grono,  the  family  estate  near  Wrexham,  Wales  In  1704  he  was  made 
hig-h  sheriff  of  Denbighshire,  and  to  show  that  he  was  residing  at  Plas 
Grono  in  1707,  will  state  that  the  following  entry  appears  in  the  parish 
register  at  Wrexham,  under  date  of  September  23,  1707:  "Mary 
Vinkety,  tonemoore,  Servant  of  Elihu  Yale,  Marchant  of  place  Cronow 
in  Esclusham  below  Ditch,  was  Buryed."  He  was  also  often  present  at 
the  vestry  meetings  of  Wrexham,  as  is  evidenced  by  his  signature  to  the 
resolutions  passed. 

In  1707  he  erected  at  his  sole  cost  a  g"allery  across  the  east  end  of 
the  nave  in  the  parish  church  of  Wrexham  (St.  Giles).  This  gallery 
took  the  place  of  the  old  rood  loft,  which  was  removed  in  1662.  This 
g^allery  contained  several  pews,  of  which  Mr.  Yale  retained  six  in  front 
for  his  own  disposal.  In  1718,  becoming  dissatisfied  with  the  position 
of  his  gallery,  he  obtained  permission  to  remove  it  to  the  western  end  of 
the  nave,  where  it  appears  to  have  remained  until  1779,  when  a  new 
gallery  was  erected.  He  also  gave  to  the  church  a  picture  of  the  Lord's 
Supper,  incorrectly  ascribed  to  Titian,  which  was  sold  to  Mrs.  Isher- 
wood,  of  Gresford,  in  1842;  and  a  picture  representing-  King  David  play- 
ing upon  the  harp,  which  still  remains.  Further,  he  re-f!agged  the  altar 
space,  also  re-railed  it,  and  supplied  a  new  altar  table  with  a  marble 
top,  which  was  subsequently  removed  to  Berse  Drelincourt  Chapel.  He 
g-ave,  as  well,  a  new  pulpit  and  sounding  board,  a  clock  dial,  a  read- 
ing desk  and  a  carving  of  the  Royal  Arms  of  England.  It  has  been 
claimed,  also,  that  he  gave  to  the  church  the  beautiful  wrought  iron 
chancel  screen  or  gates,  when  the  eastern  gallery  was  removed,  but 
there  is  no  positive  evidence  on  this  point;  however,  the  style  of  the 
screen  is  that  of  the  earlier  years  of  the  eighteenth  century.  Although 
Governor  Yale  resided  at  Plas  Grono,  that  modest,  yet  quite  amply  dis-

posed  and  home-like  place  described  more  fully  in  connection  with  the 
bioo-raphy  of  Elihu's  ancestors,  his  permanent  residence  was  no  doubt 
in  London  after  his  return  from  India  until  his  death.  On  July  18, 
1718,  he  is  described  as  "of  the  parish  of  St.  Andrew,  hobourne,  in  the 
county  of  Middlesex,  esq.,"  St  Andrew's  being-  the  parish  to  which 
Queen's  Square  belong-ed.  It  is  stated  that  he  was  elected  a  Fellow  of 
the  Ro3'al  Society  of  London  in  the  early  part  of  1718. 

In  summing-  up  other  incidents  of  record  in  Mr.  Yale's  life,  it  is  well 
to  state  that  in  a  list  headed:  " Foundation  of  Charity  School  Bers  is 
owning-  to  the  following  subscribers,  set  up  1st  Nov.  1719,"  his  name  ap- 
pears as  "Mr.  Yale,"  in  connection  with  those  of  Mr.  Myddelton,  of 
Chirk  Castle,  and  Mrs.  Egerton,  as  a  contributor,  by  promise  of  ^^5 
yearly.     This  refers  to  Berse  Drelincourt. 

Perhaps  the  most  interesting  of  all  of  the  unofficial  items  pertaining 
to  Elihu  Yale  is  a  Japanese  metal  screen,  purchased  by  Mr.  Yale  in 
India  about  the  j^ear  1682,  and  forwarded  by  him  to  a  friend  in  "Wales. 
(No  doubt  this  friend  was  Mr.  Josua  Edisbury,  of  Erddig  Hall.) 
This  screen  is  still  in  existence,  and  is  owned  by  Mr.  Philip  Yorke, 
Esq.,  of  Erddig  Hall,  near  Wrexham,  through  whose  kindness  the  au- 
thor was  able  to  obtain  a  photograph  of  same,  which  is  reproduced  here- 
with. Of  almost  if  not  quite  equal  interest  is  the  original  letter  written 
by  Mr.  Yale,  April  20,  1682,  in  reference  to  this  same  screen,  and  in 
which  he  acknowledges  receipt,  as  well,  of  "four  Rundletts  of  Sand- 
patch  Ale."  This  letter  is  also  preserved  at  Erddig  Hall,  and  we  are 
greatly  indebted  to  Mr.  Yorke  for  a  photograph  of  same,  which  is  re- 
produced herewith.  This  letter  is  certainly  decidedly  clever  and  inter- 
esting, and  gives  us  in  a  measure  renewed  insight  into  his  character. 
Neither  the  screen  or  letter  have  ever  before  been  reproduced.  How- 
ever, the  letter  is  copied  in  print  in  Mr.  Alfred  Neobard  Palmer's  book, 
"The  Country  Townships  of  the  Old  Parish  of  Wrexham,"  and  this 
printed  copy  by  Mr.  Palmer  is  given  herewith,  together  with  his  ex- 
planatory notes,  as  it  may  be  of  some  aid  in  reading  the  photographic 
copy:

The  same  Josua  Edisbury,  Esq.,  of  Erddig  Hall,  to  whom  Elihu 's 
letter  was  quite  likely  written,  afterwards  profited  by  his  acquaintance, 
and  borrowed  from  Mr.  Yale  ;^2,000,  for  which  later  on,  when  his  estate 
was  being  disposed  of  to  satisfy  his  creditors,  he  gave  Elihu  a  bond  for 
;^4,000,  March  12,  1706.  On  March  24,  1708,  Mr.  Yale  secured  a  judg- 
ment at  "the  Great  Sessions  in  Wales,"  and  the  case  was  left  to  "Mr. 
Olebar,"  whose  report  may  be  thus  summarized:

118  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Mr.  Yale,  in  connection  with  this  transaction,  was  said  to  be,  as 
before  stated,  "of  the  parish  of  St.  Andrews,  ho  bourne,  in  the  county  of 
Middlesex,  esq."  There  seems  to  have  been  some  slight  discrepancy  in 
the  records,  as  the  actual  sum  due  him  was  reported  ^^3, 511-14-5,  and  as 
there  was  not  sufficient  money  in  Mr.  Olebar's  hands  to  pay  in  full,  he 
proportioned  the  amount  due  from  the  estate  on  the  bond  as  ;^3, 370-16-11, 
and  in  consideration  of  this  sum  paid  to  him,  Mr.  Yale  released  the  bond 
and  judgment  to  Mr.  Vig-erus  Edwards,  in  trust  for  Mr.  John  Mellor, 
who  had  purchased  the  Edisbury  estate.  This  estate,  Erddig  Hall,  as 
has  been  heretofore  set  forth,  was  owned  in  earlier  times  by  Elihu 
Yale's  g-reat-grandfather.  Dr.  David  Yale. 

Having  noted  all  the  events  in  Governor  P:iihu  Yale's  career  which 
public  and  private  records  seem  able  to  disclose,  we  now  come  to  the 
closing  days  of  his  life. 

On  Saturday,  July  8,  1721,  the  Weekly  Journal  and  British  Gaz- 
eteer  of  London,  announced  that  "Elihu  Yale,  Esq.,  commonly  called 
Governor  Yale,  a  gentleman  eminently  known  for  his  extensive  charity, 
lies  at  the  point  of  death  at  his  house  in  Queen's  Square,  Great  Ormond 
Street  "  He  died  before  the  close  of  that  day,  aged  72  years,  3  months 
and  3  days.  The  last  consolation  of  religion,  if  offered,  must  have  been 
-by  the  vicar  of  the  parish  church  of  St.  Andrew's,  Holborn,  the  noted 
Dr.  Henry  Sacheverell,  the  Tory  partisan,  whose  conviction  by  the 
House  of  Peers  caused  such  great  excitement  a  few  years  before.  In 
the  issue  of  the  "Daily  Post,"  London,  on  Tuesday,  July  18.  1721,  the 
follow^ing  appeared:  "Yesterday  morning  the  corpse  of  Elihu  Yale, 
Esq.,  was  carried  out  of  town,  in  order  to  be  interred  at  Wrexham,  in 
Wales."  The  distance  from  London  to  Wrexham  is  nearly  200  miles, 
and  it  was  Jul^^  22  when  Wrexham  was  reached  and  the  interment  took 
place  in  the  yard  of  the  old  parish  church  of  Wrexham,  (St.  Giles.) 

In  the  month  of  March,  1722,  the  "Evening  Post"  of  London  an- 
nounced an  auction,  soon  to  be  held  at  Governor  Yale's  late  residence  in 
Queen's  Square,  and  the  enumeration  of  the  list  of  articles  is  interest- 
ing, and  illustrates  in  some  degree  his  tastes  and  mode  of  living.  It  in- 
cluded a  collection  of  jewels,  among  which  was  a  celebrated  diamond 
ring  that  formerly  belonged  to  Mary,  Queen  of  Scots;  diamond  and 
pearl  necklaces;  gold  repeating  and  silver  w^atches;  household  plate,  in- 
luding  several  dozens  of  silver    plates;    a  large  collection  of  valuable 


THh:  YALES  OP  AMERICA  119 

pictures;  a  great  variety  of  India  cabinets,  and  divers  sorts  of  house- 
hold goods;  brass  cannon;  curious  firearms;  mathematical  instruments; 
several  parcels  of  fine  silks,  linens  and  muslin;  and  many  valuable  cu- 
riosities in  gold,  silver  and  agate. 

On  the  12th  and  13th  of  August,  1728,  by  indentures  of  lease  and  re- 
lease, the  heirs-at-law  of  Elihu  Yale,  in  consideration  of  ;^5,02S,  sold 
the  Plas  Grono  estate  to  George  Wynne,  Esq.,  (afterguards  Sir  George 
"Wynne,  baronet),  of  Leesw^ood,  Flintshire,  to  Mr.  Meredith  and  to  Mr. 
Williams,  the  respective  shares  of  the  purchase  money  being  thus  ap- 
portioned: Mr.  Wynne,  ;^3, 128-17-43^;  Mr.  Meredith,  £U2-19-3%;  and 
Mr.  Williams,  ^1,753-3-4.  The  foregoing  particulars  were  taken  from 
a  memorandum  at  Erddig  Hall  by  Mr.  A.  N.  Palmer,  Esq.  This  estate 
thus  disposed  of  included  Old  Plas  Grono  ^afterwards  known  as  Plas* 
Grono  Farm),  New  Plas  Grono,  Llwyn  Enion,  and  various  other  lands. 

It  will  be  noted  that  Plas  Grono  was  sold  by  Elihu  Yale's  descend- 
ants as  "heirs-at-law,  "  and  not  as  devisees;  so  it  is  clear  that  he  left  no 
will,  or  at  least  none  properly  signed  and  attested. 

The  vendors  of  the  Plas  Grono  estate  in  1728  are  thus  described  in 
the  conveyance  later  on  by  Mr.  W3mne  to  Mr.  Mellor  in  1731,  and  being 
a  legal  description  of  record,  is  of  interest,  i.  e.: 

"Dudlev  North,  the  younger,  Esq.,  son  and  heir  apparent  of  Dud- 
ley North  of  Glemham  in  the  countv  of  Suffolk,  esq.,  by  Catherine,  his. 
late  wife,  deceased,  who  was  the  e  dest  of  the  three  dautrhters  and  Co- 
heirs of  Elihu  "Yale,  late  of  Pla-  Grono,  als  Plas  Newydd,  als  Tu  Cer- 
rig,  in  the  township  of  Esclusham,  in  the  county  of  Denbigh,  Esq., 
deceased,  and  also  nephew  and  one  of  the  two  Co-heirs  of  Ursula 
Yale,  late  of  Queen's  Square,  Ormond  Street,  in  the  county  of  Middle- 
sex, deceased,  who  was  the  youngest  daughter  and  one  of  the  thr^^e  Co- 
heirs of  the  said  Elihu  Yale;  the  Right  Honble  James  Cavendish,  E-q., 
cowonly  called  Lord  James  Cavendish,  youngest  brother  of  the  Most 
Noble  William,  Duke  of  Devonshire,  and  Ann  his  wife,  cowonly  called 
Lady  Cavendish,  second  daughter  and  one  other  of  the  Coheirs  of  the 
said  Elihu  Yale,  and  only  Surviving  Sister,  and  one  of  the  two  coheirs 
of  the  said  Ursula  Yale;  and  the  said  Dudley  North  the  elder,  executor 
of  the  last  Will  and  Testament  of  the  said  Ursula  Yale." 

In  reference  to  Elihu  being  noted  for  his  ''extensive  charity,"  as 
mentioned  in  the  London  newspaper,  July  8,  1721,  it  is  not  definitely 
known  in  what  way  this  charity  was  evidenced;  however,  Mr.  Dexter 
states  in  his  paper  on  "Governor  Elihu  Yale,"  that  he  offered  in  1718, 


120  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

to  the  "Society  for  the  Propag-ation  of  the  Gospel"  100  gfuineas  for  buy- 
ing- or  building  for  them  suitable  quarters.  Mr.  Dexter  also  states  that 
the  church  of  St.  George  the  Martyr  was  erected  in  1706,  at  the  south- 
west angle  of  Queen's  Square,  by  private  subscription  from  residents  in 
the  neighborhood,  and  that  it  is  tradition  that  it  was  named  in  honor  of 
one  of  the  founders  who  had  been  g-overnor  of  Fort  St.  George.  If  this 
tradition  is  true  it  must  have  meant  Governor  Elihu  Yale. 

No  more  fitting-  close  can  be  g-iven  to  the  biography  of  Elihu  Yale 
than  to  quote  the  closing  paragraph  of  Professor  Franklin  B.  Dexter's 
paper,  i.  e.: 

"But  though  we  cannot  claim  him  as  'town  born, '  there  is  no  English- 
man, there  is  no  American,  who  has  done  more  to  make  New  Haven  'a 
name  and  a  praise  through  all  the  earth'  than  the  timely  giver,  who 
made  the  fluttering,  precarious  existence  of  Yale  College  a  blessed  cer- 
tainty." 

Mr.  Yale's  plain  altar-tomb,  in  the  churchyard  of  the  beautiful  an- 
cient parish  church  in  Wrexham,  stands  on  a  line  with  the  northern 
wall  of  the  magnificent  west  tower.  The  inscriptions  have  been  re-cut, 
or  replaced,  in  modern  times.  The  oldest  known  copy  of  the  nine  lines 
on  the  north  side  is  that  given  in  Pennant's  "Tours  in  Wales  (1778)," 
which  reads  thus: 

"Born  in  America,  in  Europe  bred 
In  Africa  travell'd,  and  in  Asia  wed, 
Where  long  he  liv'd  and  thriv'd;  at  London  dead. 
Much  good,  some  ill,  he  did;  so  hope  all's  even, 
And  that  his  soul  thro'  mercy's  gone  to  heaven 
You  that  survive,  and  read,  take  care 
For  this  most  certain  exit  to  prepare. 
For  only  the  actions  of  the  just 
Smell  sweet  and  blossom  in  the  dust." 

The  alterations  have  been  made  from  time  to  time.  Now  the  lines 
read  as  follows: 

"Born  in  America,  in  Europe  bred, 
In  Africa  travell'd  and  in  Asia  wed, 
Where  long  he  liv'd  and  thriv'd;  in  London  dead. 
Much  good,  some  ill,  he  did;  so  hope  all's  even. 
And  that  his  soul  thro'  mercy's  gone  to  heaven. 
You  that  survive  and  read  this  tale  take  care, 


THE  YALES  OF  AMERICA  121 


For  this  most  certain  exit  to  prepare, 
"Where  blest  in  peace,  the  actions  of  the  just 
Smell  sweet,  and  blossom  in  the  silent  dust." 

This  poetical  leg-end  is  apparently  an  imitation  of  the  Duns  Scotus 
epitaph  at  Cologne. 

Formerly  there  was  an  inscribed  stone  at  the  east  end,  which  was 
removed  in  later  years.  It  was  inscribed  as  follows:  "In  the  year  of 
our  Lord  MDCCCXX  this  tomb  underwent  a  general  repair  by  the  Par- 
ish to  commemorate  the  memory  of  him  who  so  liberally  contributed  to 
the  improvement  of  this  church."  At  the  west  end  are  the  words:  "Re- 
stored by  the  authorities  of  Yale  College,  U.  S.,  1874  and  1895." 

The  inscription  on  the  south  side  of  the  tomb  is  as  follows:  ' 'Eliugh 
Yale,  Esq.,  was  buried,  the  twenty-second  of  July,  in  the  year  of  our 
Lord  MDCCXXI."  The  spelling  of  his  first  name  is  a  stone-cutter's 
error,  as  Mr.  Yale  spelled  his  name  himself  "Elihu."

Mr.  John    Yale,  of   New    Haven,    married    Rebecca  and   is 

supposed  to  have  lived  in  that  part  of  New  Haven,  now  North  Haven,  on 
or  near  the  farm  of  Mr.  John  Gill,  of  that  place.  He  was  an  extensive 
planter,  and  left  a  very  handsome  estate.  Of  his  history  very  little 
can  be  learned. 

Mr.  John  Yale  died  December  16,  1711,  aged  65  years.  Mrs.  Rebecca 
Yale  died  October  17,  1734,  aged  78  years.  The  tombstone  erected  to 
her  memory  was  in  1850,  standing  in  the  old  graveyard  in  North  Haven.

Capt.  Thomas  Yale,  first  of  New  Haven,  and  afterwards  of  Wall- 
ingford,  in  the  same  state,  was  thrice  married — 1st,  to  Rebecca,  daughter 
of  William  Gibbards,  Esq.,  of  New  Haven,  December  11, 1667,  by  William 
Jones,  Esq.,  Deputy  Governor;  2d,  to  Sarah  Nash,  daughter  of  John 
Nash,  Esq.  She  died  May  27,  1716,  and  he  married,  3d,  Mary  Beach, 
of  Wallingford,  July  31,  1716.  He  had  no  issue  by  the  two  last  wives. 
About  two  years  after  his  first  marriage,  he,  with  others,  began  to 
agitate  the  settlement  of  Wallingford,  to  which  place  he  removed  in 
May,  1670,  with  a  small  band  of  other  adventurers,  under  the  guidance 
and  direction  of  the  New  Haven  Committee,  as  it  was  called.  By  the  records 
of  Wallingford,  it  appears  that  he  was  one  of  the  most  prominent,  active 
and  energetic  men  among  them.  He  assisted  in  the  formation  of  the 
church,  February  15, 1675,  and  in  the  call  of  the  first  and  second  ministers, 
viz:— the  Rev.  Samuel  Street,  in  1672,  and  Rev.  Samuel  Whittelsey, 
April  4.  1709 

In  1710  himself  and  the  Rev.  Samuel  Street  were  the  only  surviving 
signers  of  the  Plantation  Covenant  of  Wallingford.  September  19,  1710 
he  was  one  of  a  committee  of  three  appointed  to  sell  Indian  lands,  etc., 
in  the  town.  He  was  a  justice  of  the  peace,  captain  of  the  train-band, 
surveyor  of  land,  and  moderator  of  their  meetings,  and  kept  the  records 
of  their  proceedings  for  nearly  twenty  years. 

Capt.  Thomas  Yale  died  at  Wallingford,  January  26,  1736,  aged  89 
years. 

Mrs.  Rebecca  Yale,  his  first  wife,  was  born  at  New  Haven,  Feb- 
ruary 26,  1650,  and  died  in  Wallingford,

recieved  its  surrender  June  16,  1745,  which  surprised  and  pleased  the 
military  authorities  of  England  and  filled  the  colonies  with  joy.  The 
walls  of  the  fortress  were  forty  feet  thick  and  thirty  feet  high  and  were 
surrounded  by  a  ditch  eighty  feet  wide.

occupied  b}'  five  generations  of  his  family,  from  Revolutionary  war  times 
to  1867. 

The  residence  is  situated  on  the  south  side  of  East  Main  St.,  about 
three  fourths  of  a  mile  east  of  Broad  Street.  The  estate  orig-inally 
comprised  the  land  on  both  sides  of  Main  St.,  extending  across  the  valley. 
The  residence  now  on  the  estate  was  built  in  1799,  but  is  not  the  original 
one.  This  estate  was  purchased  by  Abel  Yale,  father  of  Daniel,  at  the 
time  Rev.  Theophilus  Hall  came  to  Meriden  as  pastor;  the  farm  he 
previously  owned  being  purchased  by  the  church  for  Rev.  Hall. 

He  enlisted  in  1776,  in  Capt.  John  Couch's  company  of  Bradley's 
battallion,  Wadsworth's  brigade,  for  his  country's  service  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary war.  In  the  summer  and  part  of  the  fall  of  1776,  his  battallion 
was  stationed  at  Bergen  Heights  and  Paulus  Hook,  and  in  October  of 
same  year  at  Fort  Lee  under  Gen.  Greene.  Then  in  November  was 
sent  to  assist  in  the  defense  of  Fort  Washington,  which  fell  November 
16,  and  the  entire  garrison  was  captured.  On  his  way  home  after  his 
discharge  he  was  taken  with  the  small-pox,  and  after  untold  suffering 
was  taken  in  and  cared  for  by  an  aged  woman,  whose  name  unfortunatelj^ 
has  not  been  preserved.

Calvin  Yale,  when  18  years  of  ag-e  beg-an  as  a  school  teacher  at 
Pittsfield,  Mass.,  and  in  1812,  graduated  from  Union  College  and  in  1816, 
from  Andover  Theological  Seminary.  He  was  ordained  as  a  minister, 
October  15,  1817,  at  Charlotte,  Vt. ,  and  was  Pastor  of  the  Congregational 
church  at  that  place  until  1833.  He  then  went  to  Kingsborough,  N.  Y.

there,  and  also  principal  and  instructor  of  a  select  school. 

Mr.  Yale  was  an  accomplished  linguist  and  classical  scholar,  and 
was  especially  proficient  in  Greek,  Latin  and  French.  He  was  a  man 
of  high  attainments  and  intellectual  ability  and  of  dignified,  yet  affable 
nature. 

When  the  Yale  Geneaology,  published  in  1850,  was  being  compiled 
he  took  great  pleasure  and  interest  in  assisting  in  supplying  family 
records  for  the  work  and  was  undoubtedly  of  much  help  to  the  author. 

The  golden  wedding  of  this  estimable  couple  was  celebrated  at 
"Hillside  Farm,"  Martinsburgh,  May  25,  1868.

Lee  Co.,  111.  in  1837,  and  the  town  of  Franklin  Grove,  was  laid  out  on 
his  farm.  He  retained  one  square  in  the  center  of  the  town  for  his  f amilj' 
residence,  where  he  built  the  first  frame  house  in  the  town  in  1849,  in 
which  himself  and  family  have  lived  ever  since.  The  house  is  of  hard 
wood,  and  has  in  later  years  been  remodeled  into  a  modern  family 
residence.  Mrs.  Tolman  went  with  her  parents  from  New  York  state, 
to  Lee  Co.  111.,  in  1836.  It  is  stated  she  is  g-ifted  with  the  power  of 
healing-  and  that  many  invalids  have  been  cured  through  her  instru- 
mentality. At  their  g-olden  wedding  she  received  many  tokens  of  appre-

oration of  the  high  esteem  in  which  she  is  held  in  the  community.

She  was  daughter  of  Captain  Thaddeus  and  Christiana  Rich  of 
Cheshire. 

Judge  Elihu  Yale  was  the  author  and  compiler  of  the  original  Yale 
Genealogy  published  in  1850,  and  his  name  should  be  honored  and  his 
memory  kept  green  in  the  hearts  of  all  Yale  descendants,  as  a  tribute 
to  his  tireless,  unselfish,  perserveringand  successful  efforts  in  collecting, 
compiling  and  preserving  the  priceless  records,  which  after  over  two 
years  of  ceaseless  and  oftentimes  discouraged  labor  and  research,  he 
finally  brought  together  in  book  form. 

He  first  lived  at  Wallingford,  Conn.,  but  later  resided  at  Cheshire, 
Conn.,  where  he  was  Post  Master  and  Judge  of  the  Probate  Court,  at 
the  time  he  was  compiling  the  Yale  Genealogy.  He  afterwards  removed 
to  New  Haven  in  1851,  and  during  his  residence  there,  he  was  a  member 
of  the  citj'^  common  council  five  years,  Chief  of  Police  three  years,  also 
constable  and  Justice  of  the  Peace.  He  was  also  engaged  in  the  marble 
business  there  for  many  years. 

He  died  in  New  Haven,  February  19,  1872,  and  was  interred  in 
Wallingford,  his  native  town.

Biography  of  Linus  Yale  Sr. 

Linus  Yale,  first  of  Middletown,  Conn.,  and  later  of  Newport, 
Herkimer  County,  N.  Y.,  married  Chlotilda  Hopson,  September 27, 1815. 
She  was  born  May  6,  1797. 

To  Linus  Yale  Sr.,  belong-s  the  honor  of  being-  the  original  inventor 
of  locks  to  which  the  name  "Yale"  was  given.  His  son,  Linus  Yale  Jr., 
was  the  actual  inventor  in  later  years  of  the  pin  tumbler,  fiat  keyed 
lock,  which  brought  to  the  name  the  universal  and  world-wide  celebrity 
and  made  the  name  Yale  synonymous  with  excellence  and  high  stand- 
ard in  the  lock  world;  but  the  father  was  the  pioneer  in  the  Yale  lock 
field;  he  hewed  the  way,  opened  the  road  and  led  the  advance,  that 
eventually  reached  to  great  fame  for  his  family  name. 

He  was  born  April  27,  1797,  in  Middletown,  Conn.  His  parents 
moved  to  Salisbury,  Herkimer  Co.,  N.  Y.,  where  he  resided  with  them 
on  a  farm  for  a  time.  About  1835  he  removed  to  Newport,  N.  Y.,  and  in 
1837  he  was  granted  a  patent  on  threshing  machines.  This  patent  was 
signed  by  President  Andrew  Jackson.  Previously,  in  1829-1830  he  had 
invented  a  process  for  dressing  mill  stones,  by  which  an  unskilled  work- 
man could  sharpen  the  grinding  surface  as  well  as  a  skilled  mechanic. 
Later  on  he  invented  the  "Yale  sawmill  head  block  dog,"  which 
mechanically  adjusted  the  log  with  rapidity  and  exactness  and  has 
never  been  surpassed;  no  sawmill  was  thought  to  be  well  equipped 
without  it    He  disposed  of  this  patent  and  used  the  money  received  for 


THE  YALES  OF  AMERICA  295 

same  to  build  and  equip  a  factory  for  the  manufacture  of  locks,  which 
were  his  chief  inventions.  He  also  made  numerous  inventions  besides 
those  mentioned  and  almost  always  sold  them,  to  provide  funds  for  the 
upbuilding-  of  the  lock  business. 

About  1840-1845  he  commenced  the  manufacture  of  the  Yale  bank  lock, 
which  with  its  improvements,  became  famous  wherever  treasures  were 
protected  by  safes  or  vaults.  About  1847  he  brought  out  the  "Yale  Mag-ic 
Bank  Lock,"  and  in  that  year  he  purchased  the  land  and  water  rights 
where  the  ruins  of  the  "old  Yale  lock  factory"  now  stand  in  Newport, 
and  built  the  stone  building  which  is  shown  in  the  plate  in  this  book. 
He  obtained  power  for  his  factory  from  a  small  stream,  by  building  two 
dams,  which  stored  sufficient  water  to  operate  the  works.  A  very  suc- 
cessful business  was  conducted  at  these  works  for  many  years.  During 
this  later  period  Mr.  Yale  associated  with  himself  in  the  lock  business. 
Mr.  Ira  L.  Cady,  who  married  his  daughter  Chlotilda  Yale,  and  for 
whom  he  built  a  home  in  the  upper  part  of  the  village,  known  as  "the 
Cady  place;"  the  house  being  of  octagonal  form  and  built  of  stone.  It 
still  stands  near  the  old  lock  factory,  and  is  one  of  the  beauties  of  New- 
port's architecture.  Mr.  Ira  L.  Cadj-  became  prominent  as  an  expert 
in  all  work  in  connection  with  the  construction  of  safes  and  vaults, 
using  in  his  work  the  Yale  locks.  Mr.  Cady,  for  business  reasons, 
mainly  to  secure  the  advantages  of  themetroplis  in  distribution,  removed 
later  to  New  York  City,  where  he  continued  in  the  sale  of  bank  locks  and 
safe  work. 

Mr.  Yale's  son  Linus  Jr.,  joined  him  in  the  lock  business,  in  1849, 
and  later  became,  as  set  forth  in  his  biographj'-  in  this  volume,  the 
greatest  of  all  men  in  the  art  of  lock  making.  The  son  finally  engaged 
in  the  lock  business  on  his  own  account,  and  about  the  year  1855,  removed 
his  business  to  Philadelphia. 

Linus  Yale  Sr.,  was  a  sound  thinker  and  of  eminently  independent 
judgement,  and  his  opinions  on  all  public  questions  affecting  the  com- 
munity, were  greatly  respected;  and  his  excellent  judgement  was  espe- 
cially manifested  in  connection  with  the  proposed  building  of  the  rail- 
road from  Herkimer  to  Clayton,  when  his  practical  judgement  was  proof 
against  the  enthusiasm  of  the  hour,  and  the  then  impractical  project  was 
abandoned;  thus  saving  the  community  from  a  great  burden,  which 
later  events  proved  would  have  been  almost  disastrous.     He  was  one  of 


296 


THE  YALES  AND  WALE  S 


the  two  directors  in  this  proposed  company,  appointed  from  Herkimer 
county. 

Mr.  Linus  Yale,  Sr.,  died  in  1857,  and  the  business  at  Newport,, 
was  carried  on  by  Messers,  Tyler  and  Harris,  as  his  successors.  In 
1861  the  plant  and  business  was  purchased  by  Harris  brothers,  who 
successfully  conducted  the  business  for  many  years,  after  which  they 
disposed  of  same  to  a  party  in  Albany,  who  pursued  in  the  same  lines 
for  a  time.  Recently  however,  theentire  plant,  g-ood  will,  name  and  etc., 
have  been  purchased  by  parties  in  the  central  part  of  the  state  and  re- 
located nearer  the  old  home.  During-  all  these  chang-es  in  ownership, 
the  business  never  lost  its  connection  with  the  name  "Yale"  and  perhaps 
never  will.  It  mig-ht  be  well  to  state  ag-ain  here,  however,  that  the 
greatest  prominence  given  to  the  name  of  Yale,  in  connection  with  locks, 
was  brought  out  by  the  branch  of  the  business  founded  by  the  son,  Linus 
Yale,  Jr.,  as  set  forth  in  his  biography  herein.

Gad  Lowrey  Yale,  of  Galva,  111.,  was  married  October  16,  1836,  to 
Abby  W.  Reed,  a  daughter  of  William  Reed,  of  Goshen,  Conn.,  and  later 
of  Knox,  Co.  111.  She  was  born  in  1816.  He  married  secondly  to  Mary 
M.  Wilsey,  August  26,  1849,  who  was  born  December  13,  1821,  at  Troy, 
Bradford  Co.,  Penn.  She  was  a  daughter  of  William  H.  Wilsey,  and 
Catharine  Maynard-Wilsey. 

William  H.  and  Catharine  M.  Wilsey  had  three  children:  William 
H.  Wilsey,  Jr.,  late  of  Mapleton  and  Little  Sioux,  la.,  born  May  6,  1822; 
Sabrina  (Mrs.  Jacob  Cramer)  of  Galva,  Kans.,  and  Mary  M.  Wilsey- 
Yale.  Catharine  Maynard  was  born  in  Vermont,  and  went  with  her 
parents  to  Pennsylvania,  where  she  married  Mr.  Wilsey.  He  died

THE  YALES  OF  AMERICA  331 

to  Knox,  Co.,  111.,  in  1840,  and  purchased  quite  a  large  tract  of  land  in 
Lynn  Township,  Knox  Co.  The  country  there  was  new  at  that  time, 
and  Chicag-o,  then  only  a  small  place,  was  the  favored  trading-  point, 
140  miles  distant.  A  trip  to  Chicag-o,  with  wag-ons  loaded  with  wheat 
and  hauled  with  ox  teams,  was  not  an  unusual,  yet  a  formidable  under- 
taking- in  those  days;  returning  with  supplies  for  the  farm  and  home. 
The  material  for  a  large  barn  built  on  the  Lynn  Township  farm,  was 
partly  hauled  from  Chicago  in  this  manner. 

Mr.  Yale  was  an  enterprising,  energetic,  genial  and  courageous  man 
of  unswerving  integrity,  and  respected  by  all  who  knew  him.  He  was 
an  invalid  for  the  last  six  years  of  his  life,  and  died  on  his  Lynn  Town- 
ship farm,  April  14,  1882.  Yale  school  in  Lynn  Township,  was  named 
after  him. 

Mrs.  Mary  M.  W.  Yale  died  March  7,  1894,  at  the  home  of  her 
daughter  Mrs.  Adella  Yale-Hunt,  at  Palisade,  Nebr.  She  was  a  well

Sarah  Booth,  born  May  15,  1837; 
Peter,  July  27,  1840; 

All  of  these  children  were  yet  young-  and  needed  a  mothers  care 
and  advice,  when  Caroline  came  into  their  life,  and  she  was  to  them  at 
all  times  and  under  all  circumstances,  all  that  a  mother  could  be;  for 
which  they  have  all  been  very  grateful,  and  speak  and  write  of  her  in 
words  of  deepest  love  and  regard.  Her  husband,  Mr.  Elisha  Dutton 
Mansfield,  died  March  21,  1869,  and  she  with  her  step-son,  Peter,  and 
her  only  own  child,  Hugh  W.,  removed  soon  thereafter  to  Virginia,  where 
they  remained  about  three  years,  when  she  and  son  Hugh  W.  went  to 
live  at  Winsted,  Conn.,  where  she  died  March  9,  1900. 

Mr.  William  H.  Mansfield  died  at  West  Hartford,  Conn.,  January 
9,  1907,  from  pneumonia,  revered  and  loved  by  all  who  knew  him.  He 
was  a  man  of  kind  and  engaging  disposition  and  had  occupied  many 
positions  of  trust  and  honor  during  his  life  time.  His  brother  Peter, 
resides  on  the  fine  farm  in  West  Hartford,  where  the  two  had  passed 
many  years  together.  Peter  has  a  daughter.  Miss.  Mary  Page  Mans-

and  honorable  career.  In  early 
life  he  resided  in  Richmond,  Va., 
having  charge  of  his  father's  busi- 
iness  in  that  city.  He  subse- 
quently established  in  Richmond, 
a  manufacturing,  wholesale  and 
retail  business  on  his  own  account. 
In  the  3'ear  1860  he  built  and  oc- 
cupied one  of  the  largest  ware- 
houses in  that  cit3^  He  contin- 
ued his  residence  in  Richmond

which  found  him  prepared  to 
promptly  resume  business.  In

mond, in  relation  to  the  Peabody  Fund.  Served  with  the  "Committee 
of  Nine"  through  whose  instrumentality  the  state  of  Vireinia,  was

danger  from  political  adventurers  ,who  desired  to  control  the  state  at 
that  time.  Mr.  Yale  lingered  in  Virginia,  long  enough  to  see  the  old 
State  brought  back  into  the  Union.  He  moved  to  Wallingford,  Conn., 
in  1871.  The  Silver  Plate  Company,  of  Simpson,  Hall,  Miller  &  Co.,

ital stock  of  the  company,  and  was  its  treasurer  from  1871,  until  the 
early  part  of  1887,  when  he  retired  from  active  business  life. 

His  two  sons,  Charles  B.  and  George  S.,  had  charge  of  the  com- 
pany's store  in  New  York  City,  until  the  latter  part  of  1886.  Mr.  Yale 
was  frequently  called  to  serve  his  townsmen  in  office.  He  served  in  the 
General  Assembly,  of  Connecticut,  in  the  years  1874  and  1878.  He  also 
represented  the  Sixth  Senatorial  district,  in  the  State  Senate,  of  Connec- 
ticut, in  the  years  1875,  1883  and  1884,  being  twice  elected  to  that  office; 
took  an  active  and  prominent  part  in  these  sessions,  and  was  ever 
ready  and  effective  in  the  advocacy  of  all  measures  he  deemed  es- 
sential to  the  welfare  of  the  people.  He  w^as  an  eloquent  and  effective 
public  speaker,  and  was  widely  known  as  a  broad  minded,  sagacious 
business  man.  He  is  survived  by  his  two  sons,  Charles  B.  ana  George

Biography  of  Linus  Yale,  Jr. 

Linus  Yale  Jr.,  of  Newport,  Herkimer  Co.,  N.  Y.,  was  married 
September  14,  1844,  to  Catharine  Brooks,  who  was  born  in  1818,  at  New 
Fane,  Vermont. 

She  died  March  22,  1900,  at  Deerfield,  Mass. 

The  greater  portion  of  the  honor  of  making  the  family  name  Yale, 
prominent  and  well  known  throughout  the  world,  belongs  to  two  men. 
Gov.  Elihu  Yale,  for  whom  Yale  University  was  named,  and  Linus 
Yale  Jr.,  the  inventor  of  the  "Yale  Lock."  Previously  numerous  in- 
ventions had  been  brought  out  and  perfected  by  his  father,  Linus  Yale 
Sr.,  and  himself ,  pertaining  to  bank  locks;  but  it  was  the  invention  of 
the  separate  cylinder,  pin  tumbler,  revolving  plug  lock,  with  the  small 
flat  key,  which  so  completely  revolutionized  the  lock  business  of  the  time, 
and  made  the  Yale  lock  so  popular  and  universally  known  and  accepted 
as  the  standard.  This  great  invention  was  made  and  perfected  in  1860 
to  1864,  and  U.  S.  patents  covering  same,  were  issued  to  Mr.  Yale- 
January  29,  1861,  and  June  27,  1865.  Proper  cre^i^^  '  _  l.^s  father 
Linus  Yale  Sr.,  for  the  original  inventions,  '""""^  .^  r/,  of  the  first  locks, 
to  which  the  name  "Yale"  was  given,  !}y  an  admiring  and  grateful 
public;  but  as  indicated,  it  was  the  lock  invented  later  by  Linus  Yale 
Jr.,  with  the  small  flat  key,  for  general  service,  which  obtained  and 
held  such  world  wide  popularity,  and  made  the  name  famous,  and 
synonymous  of  the  highest  standard  of  excellence,  wherever  locks  are 
used. 

Mr.  Yale  possessed  a  finely  poised  artistic  and  mechanical  temper- 
ment.  He  was  well  educated  and  in  his  earlier  life,  was  a  portrait 
painter  of  much  ability,  and  among  his  productions  in  this  line,  was  an 
excellent  oil  portrait  of  his  father,  which  is  possessed  by  his  daughter, 
Mrs.  Madeline  Yale  Wynne.  He  nearly  alwa3's  had  a  pencil  in  his 
hand,  with  which  he  sketched  as  he  talked;  sometimes  it  would  be  a 
sketch  of  a  head  or  some  bit  of  picturesque  scenery,  and  again  of  some 
invention.     One    evening    in    the    winter,    after    his  marriage,  he  sat 


438  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

drawing-,  and  finally  he  passed  a  slip  of  paper  over  to  his  wife  saying, 
"There  Kate,  on  this  paper  lies  our  fortune."  It  was  a  drawing-  of  the 
first  lock  that  he  invented. 

He  was  an  artist  in  mechanics,  as  well  as  in  drawing  and  painting; 
that  is,  he  took  an  artistic  pleasure  in  the  perfection  of  any  mechanical 
process  in  which  he  might  be  engaged.  He  was  never  too  busy  to  stop 
by  a  workman's  bench  and  show  him  a  better  way  to  accomplish  some 
delicate  mechanical  task. 

His  artistic  tendencies  were  also  in  evidence  in  his  diversions  for 
pleasure;  he  was  a  devoted  angler,  and  his  ardor  in  this  sport,  seemed 
to  be  partly  fed  by  the  joy  he  experienced  in  making  a  rod  or  tying  a 
fly,  and  it  has  been  said  by  other  votaries  of  the  sport,  that  to  see  him 
cast  a  flj%  gave  the  same  pleasure  that  comes  to  one  in  hearing  a 
violin  solo  by  a  master,  so  fine  was  his  sense  of  balance,  of  distance  and 
motion. 

He  was  born  at  Salisbury,  N.  Y.,  April  4,  1821,  and  after  com- 
pleting his  education,  began  his  career  as  a  portrait  painter;  but  his 
mechanical  inclinations  induced  him  about  1849,  to  join  his  father  in 
the  lock  business,  at  Newport,  N.  Y.  Linus  Yale  Sr.,  was  at  that  time 
operating  a  bank  lock  factor}-,  in  the  stone  building  now  known  as  the 
"Old  Yale  Lock  Factory,"  the  ruins  of  which  are  still  standing.  The 
earlier  efforts  of  *  -,        ^\7  this  field,  were  in  connection  with  bank 

safes  and  locks,  anli  wc.  ^  ^.o  oTiginal  ana  successful,  that  he  came  to 
be  recognized  as  the  leading  American  expert  and  authority  in  such 
matters.  As  such,  he  was  employed  as  consulting  engineer,  by  many  of 
the  banks  and  bankers  of  the  day,  to  design  their  more  important  safes 
and  locks,  and  his  inventions  in  this  connection  were  numerous,  and  in- 
volved man}'  diverse  types,  of  most  ingenious  and  complicated  con- 
struction. The  combination  lock,  as  now  used,  was  then  unknown,  and 
all  of  his  earlier  inventions  related  to  locks  operated  by  keys;  but  great 
security  was  obtained,  by  making  the  "bit"  of  the  key  changeable  at 
will  and  also  detachable  from  the  handle,  so  when  the  latter  was  rotated 
in  the  lock,  the  "bit"  was  detached  and  carried  away  from  the  key- 
hole, to  a  remote  part  of  the  lock,  and  there  brought  into  contact  with 
the  tumblers,  to  set  them  in  position  to  permit  the  bolt  to  move;  the  con- 
tinued rotation  of  the  handle,  then  operating  the  bolt  and  returning  the 
"bit"  to  the  ke3'-hole  for  removal.

THE    YAI.es  of  AMERICA  439 

The  famous  "lock  controversj'"  which  arose  in  England  during  the 
"World's  Fair"  of  1851,  when  the  American,  Mr.  Hobbs,  succeeded  in 
picking  the  best  English  bank  locks,  had  its  aftermath  in  similar  con- 
tests, between  American  bank  lock  makers.  Being  drawn  into  this  con- 
troversy, Mr  Yale,  first  discovered  how  to  pick  the  celebrated  Day  & 
Newell,  "Parautoptic  Bank  Lock,"  known  in  England  as  the  "Hobbs" 
lock,  and  it  has  been  said  he  picked  it  with  a  pine  stick;  but  soon  after- 
wards he  found  out  how  to  pick  his  own  best  bank  lock,  known  as  the 
"Double  Treasury,"  and  ended,  by  demonstrating  that  any  lock  having 
a  key  hole,  could  be  successfully  attacked,  by  one  having  the  necessary 
skill  and  implements. 

Ultimately  he  turned  his  attention  to  the  combination  or  "dial"  lock, 
which  in  crude  form  had  been  known  for  centuries,  and  brought  it  to 
such  perfection  that,  before  his  death  it  had  displaced  nearly  all  other 
bank  locks;  and  in  the  many  years  which  have  since  elapsed,  the 
"dial"  lock  has  been  in  universal  use  in  America,  for  safes  and  vaults; 
and  although  produced  in  many  forms  and  by  numerous  makers,  it  re- 
tains to-day,  the  essential  characteristics  given  it  by  Linus  Yale  Jr. 

Notwithstanding  the  great  importance  and  ingenuity  of  the  bank 
lock  inventions,  as  before  stated,  the  invention  of  the  lock  with  the  small 
"flat  key,"  in  1860-1864,  was  the  epoch  making  event  of  his  life.  This 
invention  ultimately  completely  revolutionized  the  art  of  lock  making  in 
America,  and  contributed  greatly  to  place  this  country  in  the  superior 
position  which  it  occupies,  far  in  advance  of  all  other  countries,  in  lock 
making.  It  consisted  of  the  following  essential  details  of  construction 
and  methods. 

1  In  placing  the  key  mechanism  in  a  separate  "cylinder,"  in- 
serted in  the  face  of  the  door,  and  connected  with  the  bolt  case,  behind. 

2.  In  combining  the  ancient  Egyptian  "pin  tumblers,"  with  a 
revolving  "plug"  containing  the  ke3'^-way. 

3.  In  combining,  with  the  revolving  "plug,"  2.  flat  key,  of  conven- 
ient form  and  of  uniform  size  for  all  sizes  and  kinds  of  locks,  in  place  of 
the  round  key  previously  in  universal  use. 

4.  In  the  adoption  of  a  standard  of  design  and  workmanship  for 
key  locks  for  general  use,  equal  to  that  previously  employed  only  in 
bank  locks. 


440  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

5.  In  adopting-  high-class  machine  tools,  to  obtain  the  higher  stand- 
ard of  workmanship  thus  established. 

6.  In  packing-  each  lock  in  a  seperate  paper  box,  complete  with  all 
necessary  trimming's  and  screws,  thus  initiating  a  practice  now  almost 
universal. 

Prior  to  these  inventions  and  improvements,  the  round  key  locks  were 
in  universal  use  and  were  of  crude  and  bulky  form,  affording  only  in- 
different security,  and  of  inferior  workmanship. 

Although,  as  has  been  stated,  Linus  Yale  Jr.,  began  his  career  in 
the  art  of  lockmaking,  with  his  father,  he  some  years  later  embarked  in 
the  business  independently,  and  about  the  year  1855,  moved  to  Phila- 
delphia, where  he  was  very  successful;  but  about  1861  or  1862,  he  again 
moved,  to  Shelburne  Falls,  Mass.,  where  the  locks  were  manufactured 
by  the  firm  of  Yale  &  Greenleaf .  The  chief  products  at  the  latter  place, 
were  bank  locks,  however  the  flat  keyed  cylinder  lock,  with  pin  tum- 
blers, was  manufactured  in  a  small  way. 

In  the  summer  of  1868,  Mr.  Yale  and  Mr.  Henry  R.  Towne,  then  of 
Philadelphia,  a  thoroughly  trained  mechanical  engineer,  who  was 
seeking  a  permanent  business  connection,  were  introduced  to  each  other 
by  a  mutual  friend,  and  after  some  months  of  negotiation,  a  partnership 
was  formed  between  them,  bj'^  which  Mr.  Yale  agreed  to  contribute  his 
existing  business,  patents  and  inventive  skill,  and  Mr.  Towne  agreed 
to  provide  additional  capital  and  to  organize  and  manage  the  manufact- 
uring department.  It  can  be  stated,  that,  although  Mr.  Yale's  business 
was  chiefly  making  bank  locks,  Mr.  Towne  was  attracted  by  a  convic- 
tion, which  he  then  formed,  that  the  newly  invented  "cylinder,"  was 
the  foundation  for  a  large  business,  if  properly  exploited. 

This  partnership  was  organized  in  October  1868,  in  corporate  form, 
under  the  name,  "The  Yale  Lock  Manufacturing  Company,"  and  was 
located  at  Stamford,  Conn.,  thirty-four  miles  from  the  City  of  New 
York;  this  point  being  carefully  selected,  as  combining  the  advantages 
of  the  skilled  labor  of  New  England,  with  close  proximity  to  the  metrop- 
olis of  the  country.  A  suitable  site  having  been  selected  and  purchased, 
Mr.  Towne  went  to  Stamford,  to  design  and  erect  the  modest  factory 
building  which  was  proposed.  Mr.  Yale  continuing  to  conduct  the 
business  at  Shelburne  Falls,  pending  its  removal  to  the  new  location. 

On  December  25,  1868,  the  newly  organized  business   met    with   a 


THE  YALES  OF  AMERICA  441 

great  misfortune,  in  the  sudden  death  of  Mr.  Yale,  of  heart  disease,  on 
that  date,  in  the  City  of  New  York,  where  he  had  been  unexpectedly 
detained,  in  consultation  over  plans  for  the  vaults  of  the  Equitable 
Building-,  then  under  construction.  He  was  aged  47  years,  8  months  and 
21  days,  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

In  1869,  Mr.  Towne  succeeded  to  the  presidency  of  the  company, 
and  in  later  years  (1883),  owing-  to  the  enlarged  and  deversified  line  of 
products,  the  name  was  changed  to,  The  Yale  &  Tovine  Manufacturing 
Company.  The  business  was  removed  to  the  new  factory  at  Stamford 
and  started  up,  in  March,  1869,  with  about  thirtj'^  employees;  a  sales- 
room being  simultaneously  established,  at  No.  1  Barclay  St.,  New  York 
City.  At  that  time  bank  locks  were  the  chief  products,  however  the  new 
pin-tumbler,  cylinder  lock,  now  universally  known  as  the  "Yale  Lock," 
was  also  made  in  seven  varieties.  Several  new  varieties  were  added  in 
the  next  few  years  and  the  system  of  "Yale  Locks"  for  U.  S.  postofiice 
lock  boxes,  was  rapidly  developed,  from  a  lock  box  which  Mr.  Yale  had 
designed  for  the  postoffice  in  Boston,  Mass.,  just  previous  to  his  death. 
The  rapid  adoption  of  the  Yale  Lock  Box,  in  postoffices  in  all  parts  of 
the  country,  helped  greatly  to  call  public  attention  to  the  merits  of  the 
"Yale  Lock,"  with  its  diminutive  key.  The  designing  and  building  of 
complete  postoffice  equipment  soon  became  an  established  department  of 
the  business,  the  line  of  bank  locks  was  remodeled  and  enlarged  and 
the  growth  of  the  business  was  such  that,  one  hundred  and  fifty  people 
were  employed  in  1872.  In  1873  bronze  hardware  was  added  to  the  bus- 
iness and  in  this  field  the  company  finally  became  the  recognized  leader. 
In  1875,  the  Weston  Differential  Pulley  Block  device,  was  added  to  the 
line,  and  a  little  later  "cranes"  of  all  kinds  and  sizes.  These  latter 
lines  were  developed  into  extensive  proportions,  but  in  1894,  were  dis- 
posed of,  to  the  Brown  Hoisting  Machinery  Company,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio; 
the  chain  block  business  being  retained  at  Stamford.  In  1882,  the  A. 
H.  Emery  testing  machines  and  heavy  scales,  were  taken  up,  but  this 
business  was  also  disposed  of  in  1887,  to  Wm.  Sellers  &  Co.,  of  Phila- 
delphia, Penn.  Returning  to  the  narrative  of  the  lock  industry,  it  is  in 
order  to  state  that,  in  response  to  a  demand  for  a  bank  lock,  unsusepti- 
ble  to  manipulation,  the  Yale  Time  Lock  was  invented,  and  has  since 
come  into  almost  universal  use  in  the  leading  banks.  In  1878  the  busi- 
ness of  two  smaller  competitors,  was  acquired.  The  United  States  Lock 


442  THE  YALES  AND  WALES 

Co.,  and  The  American  Lock  Co.,  and  the  production  of  padlocks  was 
taken  up.  The  number  of  employees  had  been  increased  by  this  time, 
to  about  three  hundred. 

Branch  ofiices  had  been  established  in  Philadelphia  and  Boston, 
and  in  1880,  one  was  opened  in  Chicago.  Additions  to  the  Stamford 
plant  were  made  almost  annually,  those  of  1881  and  1883  being  quite 
important.  About  1882,  the  company  began  to  cater  extensively  to  the 
public  demand  for  artistic,  high  grade,  ornamental  hardware,  and  the 
artistic  treatment  of  iron  for  this  work,  was  taken  up  successful^'.  In 
1891  the  number  of  employees  had  increased  to  900,  and  a  complete  line 
of  cabinet  and  trunk  locks  was  added  to  the  products.  The  year  1894 
brought  the  addition  of  lines  of  the  cheaper  and  medium  grades  of 
builders  hardware  and  locks,  which  came  to  be  among  the  most  im- 
portant products.  Door  checks  were  added  to  the  lines  of  products  in 
1895.  During  the  years  1900  and  1901,  extensive  improvements  and 
additions  were  begun  and  made  for  the  Stamford  Works,  and  the 
manufacturing  heretofore  carried  on  at  Branford,  was  moved  to  Stam- 
ford. These  improvements  and  consolidations,  make  the  Stamford 
Works,  the  largest  and  best  equipped  of  the  kind  in  the  world,  with  a 
capacity  for  the  employment  of  over  3000  persons,  and  occupying  a  tract 
of  over  15  acres  of  land,  with  direct  rail  and  salt  water  connections. 

Much  credit  is  due  Mr.  Henry  R.  Towne  and  his  associates,  for  the 
world  wide  popularity  of  the  name  "Yale"  as  associated  with  locks,  as 
it  was  through  their  splendid  business  judgement  and  indomitable 
energy,  that  the  great  growth  of  the  business  was  made  possible,  after 
the  decease  of  the  inventor.

Gregory  Yale,  of  San  Francisco,  Cali.,  was  married  July  10,  1846, 
to  Frances  Ellen  Willey,  who  was  born  November  10,  1830,  at  Kittery, 
Maine.  She  was  daughter  of  Captain  Charles  Willey,  who  with  Major 
Hart,  laid  out  the  town  of  Jacksonville,  Florida,  in  1828. 

Mr.  Gregory  Yale  was  born  in  Richmond,  Virginia,  October  14, 
1816;  was  educated  at  the  University  of  Virginia  and  was  admitted  to 
the  bar  in  December,  1840;  after  which  he  removed  to  Jacksonville, 
Fla.,  where  he  was  prominent  in  the  practice  of  law.  On  September 
14,  1849,  he  sailed  for  San  Francisco,  Cali.,  arriving  there  December  28, 
where  he  was  soon  joined  by  his  family.  He  was  prominent  in  the 
legal  profession  in  that  city  for  many  years  and  also  took  an  active  and 
prominent  part  in  public  affairs.  He  was  the  author  of  several 
important  legal  books  and  was  a  frequent  contributor  to  current  publi- 
cations of  his  day.  In  1857  he  had  accumulated  a  fottune  of  some 
$300,000,  which  he  lost  later  in  mining  and  ditch  investments.  He  was 
noted  for  his  great  generosity  and  hospitality.  He  was  a  descendant 
of  the  Yales  of  ISew  England,  but  I  have  been  unable  to  trace  his 
ancestry  definitely.

The  author  is  unable  in  some  cases  to  definitely  determine  to  which 
individual  in  the  genealogy  the  war  record  applies,  and  in  such  in- 
stances the  connection  between  the  military  record  and  the  individual 
in  the  genealog-ical  list  is  of  necessity  left  for  the  descendants  to  de- 
termine, which  they  can  doubtless  do  in  some  instances,  with  the  aid  of 
family  traditions  and  records,  and  they  are  assured  by  the  author  that 
these  war  records  of  Connecticut  men  are  officially  correct. 

In  this  connection  the  author  desires  to  state  that  the  record  of  the 
Yales  in  the  Revolutionary  and  other  early  American  Wars,  is  not  con- 
fined to  the  Connecticut  records.  There  were  other  Yales  who  enlisted 
from  other  colonies,  and  so  far  as  such  records  have  been  obtained  they 
are  entered  under  the  names  of  the  individuals  in  the  genealogy.
